Terrorists kill 15 worshipers at B’Faso church

At least 15 civilians were killed and two others injured during a “terrorist” attack on a Catholic church during Sunday mass in northern Burkina Faso, a senior church official said.

“We bring to your attention a terrorist attack which the Catholic community of Essakane village was the victim of today, February 25, while they were gathered for Sunday prayer,” the vicar of the Dori diocese, Jean-Pierre Sawadogo, said in a statement sent to AFP.

The provisional toll was 15 killed and two wounded, he added.

Calling for peace and security in Burkina Faso, Sawadogo denounced “those who continue to wreak death and desolation in our country”.

Essakane village, where the attack took place, is in what is known as the “three borders” zone in the northeast of the country, near the common borders of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.

This is just the latest in a series of atrocities blamed on jihadist groups active in the region, some of which have targeted Christian churches while others have involved the abduction of clergy.

Burkina Faso is part of the vast Sahel region, which has been locked in a battle against rising violent extremism since Libya’s civil war in 2011, followed by an Islamist takeover of northern Mali in 2012.

The jihadist insurgency spilled over into Burkina Faso and Niger from 2015.

When Captain Ibrahim Traore seized power in 2022, it was the country’s second coup in less than a year — both triggered in part by discontent at the government’s failures to quell the jihadist violence.

Around 20,000 people in Burkina Faso have been killed in that violence, while over two million have been displaced.

Wagner Troops in Africa countries are focused on Stealing Africa mineral resources on behalf of Russia.

For those who don't always believe , why is the same thing happening in b. Faso and northeast over there? Hmmm.

Run the map of West Africa. It's the same thing happening. Same strategy. But alas, people will rather believe news that it will fine than the truth.

They have sent their people there, not surprised but watch how that military guy will descend on them and wipe them out

is still the one attacking them.

Good one, this is what we have been waiting for! What is the "hating" for?

Handwork of fanatics & jihadist.

It's time for reform of some Islamic ideology. Some of these ideologies are no longer relevant in a modern world when there are no longer empires.

From Sri Lanka to Bangladesh to Pakistan to Lebanon to Somalia to Yemen to Mali to Nigeria etc.. Its same ideology that's causing violence and blood shed.

Islam and wickedness....

Condolences to the bereaved....

You mean the prophet who once had 900 Qurazya men beheaded in one night was also fighting a defensive war?
RIP to the dead
Una sabi lie ee😂

From the middle belt of Nigeria to the Sahel of west Africa, their strategy is the same.

Entering churches and killing people for the sake of islamization. They will fail. They have failed

"Who averted [people] from the way of Allah and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they were, concerning the Hereafter, disbelievers."

In another verses Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said:

"They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it."
(QS. As-Saff 61: Verse

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said:

"And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror]."
(QS. Ibrahim 14: Verse 42)

Despite trillion dollar campaign to ternish Islam through media, terrorism etc Allah will perfect his Religion and make it supreme because it is the truth and all these senseless bombings and killings does not stop million of people from accepting Islam in Europe and U.S, they are just using uneducated Muslims to execute their sinister agenda.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said:

"It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although they who associate others with Allah dislike it."
(QS. Holy Qur'an 9: Verse 33)

Can you share the proof

Nonsense!
Prophet fighting war in the first place is the reason why his followers do the same. You even believe in the same war, you only wish they don't kill women and cut trees.
The world is cursed with the presence of Islam. It is a notorious organisation that have deprived the world of sanity and peace.
