  • A village chief and his brother were killed in an attack in an area of northern Burkina Faso plagued by jihadist violence, local sources told AFP on Thursday. "Several armed individuals attacked" the village of Kogyende on Wednesday evening, a security source in the regional capital Kaya told AFP. The source said that two civilians were killed -- one a prominent local figure -- and another was wounded, adding that a security operation had been launched to sweep the area. A local official in the civilian militia Volunteers for the Defence of the Nation (VDP) said "it was the village chief and his younger brother who were killed, the wounded was one of ours". "The attackers had time to set fires" in the village before retreating to the neighbouring Soum province, the VDP official told AFP. "The people who had fled various villages because of the terrorist attacks were returning little by little, but since this morning there has been population displacement." Burkina Faso's north has been the target of regular jihadist attacks since 2015, which have claimed at least 1,200 lives and forced around a million people to flee their homes. ab/stb/blb/dl/mjs
