At least 47 people, including 30 civilians, have been killed in suspected militant attack on a convoy in northern Burkina Faso, in the notorious 'three-border' zone with Mali and Niger

The communications ministry said the assault took place 25 kilometres from Gorgadji, in the notorious "three-border" zone where Burkina Faso meets Mali and Niger - a focus of the violence that plagues the wider Sahel region. The militants have demonstrated their ability to attack civilians even under military escort, said Rida Lyammouri, senior fellow at the Policy Center for the New South, a Moroccan based organisation focused on economics and policy.
