Gunmen attack church kills 15 in burkina faso
I'm so sorry to hear about the tragic attack on the church in Burkina Faso. It's devastating to hear that 15 people have lost their lives.
According to reports, the attack occurred on Sunday morning at the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in the town of Silgadji, in the eastern region of Burkina Faso. The gunmen, believed to be linked to the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS), stormed the church during morning mass, shooting and killing worshippers.
This is not the first time that Burkina Faso has been targeted by extremist groups. The country has been plagued by violence and instability in recent years, with attacks on churches, mosques, and other civilian targets becoming increasingly common.
The international community must condemn these senseless acts of violence and work together to support the people of Burkina Faso in their fight against terrorism. It's essential that we stand in solidarity with the victims and their families, and work towards creating a more peaceful and secure world.
May the souls of the 15 victims rest in peace, and may their families find comfort and strength in the face of this tragedy.
