Burkina Faso: More than a hundred terrorists neutralized in response to terrorist attacks
A VDP camp, located about fifteen kilometers from the city of Ouahigouya (Yatenga Province), was the target of a terrorist attack on Saturday, April 15 in Burkina Faso.

The next day, still under the same conditions, several other terrorists were also neutralized by the Burkina army in the Bam area.
Indeed, following the death of terrorist leader Jafar Dicko (neutralized in a counter-terrorism operation), better known as "Yero", considered by security experts to be the figure of jihadism in Burkina Faso, the terrorists launched several attacks this weekend. no doubt, to mark the inauguration of a new chief. Thus, the response to the attack on the VDP camp which resulted in the neutralization of at least fifty (50) terrorists and important equipment destroyed is a real mark to ask the terrorists to put down or die.
