Since the military takeover, the junta has prioritized security but has struggled to rein in islamist groups whose attacks have resulted in multiple civilian casualties this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In early April, authorities blamed terrorists for the killing of at least 44 people in separate attacks on villages in northern Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later that month, 136 others, including babies were killed in a similar onslaught on a village in the same region by armed men in military uniform. Authorities condemned the attack and opened an investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burkina Faso has been the epicenter of violence that has spread across the vast Sahel region by Islamist groups linked to al Qaeda and the Islamic State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"976\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/118813871_gettyimages-1198467333.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/118813871_gettyimages-1198467333.jpg 976w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/118813871_gettyimages-1198467333-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/118813871_gettyimages-1198467333-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/118813871_gettyimages-1198467333-390x220.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roughly 100 civilians were reportedly killed during a massacre on a village in the West African country of Burkina Faso, the European Union\u2019s diplomatic service said Monday.
