schema:articleBody	Burkina Faso -- which goes to the polls in a general election on Sunday -- has been the target of repeated jihadist attacks since 2015, leaving 1,200 dead and a million more displaced. This is a timeline of the bloodshed, which has intensified in the last year inflaming inter-communal tensions. Thirty people -- half of them Westerners -- are killed and 71 injured in a jihadist attack on the Splendid hotel and the Cappuccino restaurant in the capital Ouagadougou. The attack on January 15 is first of its kind and is claimed by the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Murabitoun group led by one-eyed Algerian Mokhtar Belmokhtar. Nineteen people are killed the following August when two gunmen fire on diners in a Turkish restaurant just metres from the Splendid hotel. Simultaneous attacks on army headquarters and the French embassy leave eight soldiers dead and 85 people injured. France leads the anti-jihadist Operation Barkhane in the region. Al-Qaeda-linked Group to Support Islam and Muslims (GSIM) claims responsibility. Twenty-four soldiers are killed in an attack on a military base at Koutougou near the Malian border on August 19. On November 9 at least 38 die when a convoy carrying workers to a gold mine at Boungou in the east is targeted. Two hundred heavily armed jihadists attack the military base and the town of Arbinda, again near the Mali border, on December 24. The worst attack in five years leaves 42 dead -- 35 civilians and seven soldiers. Thirty-six civilians are slain in a raid on villages in northern Sanmatenga province, which has numerous refugee camps on January 20. Five days later a new massacre leaves 39 dead at a market in the northern village of Silgadji, where men are executed after being separated from women. ang/mw/fg/dl
