Burkina Faso Military accuses of being killed by Human Rights Watch over 100 civilians

In March, at least 130 civilians were killed in a new report by the government of the Burkina Faso and the Allied militia in March near the western city Mestno.

The “massacre” after an operation listed by Burkinabè Special Forces led to widespread civilian deaths and displacement of ethnic fulanis.

The Fulani are a pastoralist, mostly Muslim community, which the government has often accused of supporting Islamist militants – an allegations that are rejected by the leaders of the community.

About 40% of Burkina Faso are under the control of groups associated with al-Qaida and the Islamic state in the Sahel region of West Africa.

The attacks in which thousands of people were killed and sold millions have continued despite the promise of the country's military leaders to deal with the uprising.

Before the publication of the HRW results on Monday, there were reports on militant attacks at the weekend with dozens of military and civilian victims.

The BBC was unable to confirm these reports, and the authorities do not routinely comment on jihadist attacks.

The BBC has contacted the Burkina Faso government for a comment on the HRW report.

Last year, the government described another HRW report as “unfounded” in which soldiers had accused a “massacre” in which 223 villagers were killed.

It also means that all allegations of human rights violations that were “committed in the fight against terrorism” were systematically examined.

The right -wing group says that it had interviewed witnesses, militia members, journalists and civil society and analyzed videos that were shared on social media to meet the knowledge of the army of the army in March.

HRW previously said that the army was “involved” in the murders, based on videos that were shared online, showed dozens of dead and injured, although the results were not final.

It now means that further investigations “have uncovered that Burkina Faso's military was responsible for this mass murders of Fulani -Zivilists”.

It also adds that at least 100 civilians were killed against those who help the military in reprisals in reprisals by jihadist groups.

“Mass murders of civilian population by government security forces, militias and Islamist -armed groups mean war crimes and other possible atrocities,” it says.

The government has asked the law to examine and pursue all those responsible for the crimes.

This happened when the Junta chairman, captain Ibrahim Traoré, returned in cooperation and security in Sahelhilfe from Moscow after meeting Wladimir Putin.

Since the military conquered power, Burkina Faso has turned away from the colonial power of France and in the direction of Russia to get help in combating Islamist uprising.
