Over the past six years, Burkina Faso has been hit by militant attacks from neighbouring Mali – the epicentre of a brutal insurgency that began in 2012
Opposition parties supporters attend a protest to denounce the government's handling of the security situation in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso July 3, 2021.
The national flag was lowered to half-mast for three days of mourning at the parliament on Friday, presidency and government offices in the capital Ouagadougou, a journalist saw, while the heavy casualties raised fresh doubts about the country's armed forces.Several television and radio channels changed their programming, mostly broadcasting songs paying tribute to the defence and security forces.
"Over the past five years, the days have come and gone but look the same to the Burkinabe public," said the online outlet Wakatsera. Thousands of soldiers and civilians have died in the three countries, while according to UN figures, more than two million people have fled their homes.In Burkina Faso itself, the toll stands at more than 1,500 dead and 1.3 million displaced.
