Lagos: About 50 soldiers lost their lives in a fierce attack on an army base in Dargo, located in the northern part of Burkina Faso. This information was given by a local community leader and a resident on Tuesday. Both told this on the condition of hiding their identity because they were afraid of military officials. This attack took place on Monday in Dargo, Boulssa province. It is being told that the jihadist organization Jamaat Nasr al-Islam Wal-Muslimeen (JNIM) may be behind this attack.
About 100 armed terrorists carried out the attack
According to sources, about 100 armed terrorists carried out this attack. The attackers first targeted the soldiers by attacking the army base, then looted the base and set it on fire. The military government of Burkina Faso has not yet issued any official statement on this attack. Let us tell you that the influence of jihadist terrorists is increasing day by day in the country. These terrorist groups are especially dominant in the areas outside the capital.
The government has failed to control the jihadi terrorists
Terrorist organizations like JNIM are carrying out attacks throughout West Africa, in which hundreds of civilians and soldiers have lost their lives. These terrorist groups not only spread violence, but also disrupt the system by occupying areas. The growing insecurity in Burkina Faso has also shaken the country’s politics. In recent years, there have been two consecutive military coups in the country, the excuse for which was the deteriorating security situation. The current military leader Ibrahim Traore made many political and military changes after assuming power, but he has failed to control the jihadi terrorists.
JNIM has sworn loyalty to Al-Zawahiri
JNIM is a Salafi jihadi organization, which is active in West Africa and the Maghreb. It was formed by the merger of Ansar Dine, Al-Mourabitoun and the Saharan branch of Al-Qaeda. Its leaders have sworn loyalty to al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri. In the 2020s, JNIM became the world’s fastest growing terrorist organization. By 2025, it is the most powerful armed group in the Sahel region, which enforces strict Islamic law and collects taxes in the areas it occupies. It is spreading in countries like Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo.
