Following an attack on a village named Madjoari in Burkina Faso, the world has been shocked by the rising attacks in African countries. The police has found 79 dead, on the first day 50 were assumed killed, but then another 29 dead were found in the village Seytenga. The goverment suspect jihadist terrorits. In the past months armed attacks against civilians and the military have risen, most of the attacks carried out by al-Qaeda and Islamic State. The small villages Djibo and Titao, the town of Madjoari have been under a blockade. "Residents of Madjoari", a locality under blockade by jihadists and who were trying to leave it, "were targeted" near a bridge "by unidentified armed individuals", said Colonel Hubert Yameogo, governor of the east. The attack was part of the revenge of the terrorists, because goverment soldiers had before killed around 40 jihadists. The police is still looking for dead, but their work is being slowed down by hidden explosives that were left in the region. For around 7 years there have been multiple jihadist attacks against the public. In the conflict there have been thousands of dead civilians and soldiers. The terrorists are also targeting watersupplies and stations, nearly 300.00 have been hit by the terror stirred upon them. The water supplies are being destroyed or the water filled with chemicals and dirt. The people have been kept suffering by the attacks. Let us hope the attacks stop in all African countries.
