Human Rights Watch says at least 100 civilians in Burkina Faso were killed by government forces near the town of Solenzo in the western Boucle du Mouhoun region in an attack in March.

Human Rights Watch says Mali’s armed forces, supported by Russian mercenaries, committed abuses against civilians since the withdrawal of a UN peacekeeping mission late last year.

Human Rights Watch says in a new report that Burkina Faso’s government unnecessarily exposed civilians to danger during a militant attack earlier this year.
