Burkina Faso Collapse? Al-Qaeda’s JNIM Claims Town in Explosive Assault | Over 100 Killed | CLRCUT

A deadly jihadist assault by Al-Qaeda affiliate JNIM on Djibo, northern Burkina Faso, left over 100 dead, highlighting the group’s growing strength. The coordinated dawn attack targeted military camps and checkpoints, overwhelming government forces. JNIM exploits smuggling routes and local grievances to entrench itself across the Sahel. Burkina Faso, amid political turmoil and a worsening humanitarian crisis, sees nearly half its territory outside state control. Violence by both jihadists and security forces has surged, displacing millions. The crisis, fueled by weak governance, climate stress, and foreign policy shifts, threatens regional stability, demanding urgent humanitarian aid and long-term political solutions.
