Inata憲兵哨所遭攻陷

發生了什麼

2021年11月14日上午，槍手襲擊了位於Soum省金礦附近的Inata憲兵分遣隊。政府最初公布的傷亡人數為至少19名憲兵及一名平民，並註明為暫定數字，後升至49名憲兵及四名平民，是自2015年叛亂開始以來安全部隊遭受的最重損失。該分遣隊曾報告在遇襲前約兩週沒有口糧。沒有任何團體宣稱犯案；報導將其歸咎於與JNIM有關聯的戰鬥人員。

The attack that turned the war into a political crisis for the state: the account of a garrison left unfed and then overrun went through the ranks and the capital, and the January 2022 coup that deposed President Kaboré was justified by it. It is the origin of the sequence the Burkina Faso lens records — two coups, "total war" and the mass mobilisation of the VDP — and the first of the three mass-casualty attacks on which that lens rests.
