Pressure is mounting on the authorities in Burkina Faso after more than 150 civilians were massacred by uniformed men in northern villages. At a press conference on Saturday, FRANCE 24 spoke to a representative for the victims, who reiterated accusations against members of the defence and security forces.
A woman was shot three times as she tried to escape, collapsing at the entrance to her village. Left for dead by her attackers, she was eventually spotted by a motorbike taxi driver and taken to hospital. She was one of the few survivors of the massacre in Karma, in northern Burkina Faso.
