Ten people killed when an aid convoy was ambushed in Burkina Faso, bringing to at least 50 the death toll from a string of attacks blamed on militants
Soldiers from Burkina Faso patrol on the road of Gorgadji in the Sahel area of the country on March 3, 2019.
The humanitarian convoy was returning from the northern town of Foube after delivering food there, the statement said. At least five civilians and five gendarmes were killed and around 20 people were injured. A local governor, Colonel Saidou Sanou, said in a statement that the bloodshed underlined the need for the army and locals to work together to "defeat the terrorist hydra".Burkina Faso, one of the world's poorest countries, has battled a militant insurgency since 2015.
Attacks have in fact intensified in Burkina Faso since last year, becoming practically a daily occurrence.
