Barsalogho — 數百人在挖掘防禦壕溝時遇害

發生了什麼

2024年8月24日，JNIM戰鬥人員襲擊了在Centre-Nord地區為保護Barsalogho鎮而挖掘壕溝的數百名平民及隨行士兵。Human Rights Watch透過影片分析與目擊者證詞，查證至少133人死亡（包括數十名兒童）、至少200人受傷，並發現士兵曾以威脅迫使居民挖掘；其他估計從200人到數百人不等，而政府未公布任何傷亡數字。JNIM宣稱犯案，並稱其殺害了約300名其視為與國家有關聯的人。

The deadliest attack in Burkina Faso's war by most counts, and the one that shows the "total war" doctrine's cost to the population it mobilises: civilians conscripted into defence works became the target, and the state's answer — more trenches dug around the town in the days after — was the same instrument. It is the Burkinabè case the module's protection file most needs, and the toll is carried as a verified floor rather than as any of the larger figures in circulation.
