A terrible attack happened in Guiedougou, a village in western Burkina Faso. Armed fighters from a group called JNIM killed around 300 people. Experts say it might be one of the worst attacks in the area recently.
The attack started at 4:00 p.m. on April 3. It came just a day after Burkina Faso's army and local volunteers finished a military operation called "Operation Tourbillon". The military had claimed they cleared the area and left the day before.
Witnesses said the fighters surrounded the village and attacked civilians and buildings. Most of the people killed were residents. The fighters claimed these people helped the government's army.
JNIM is a terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda. They said they attacked the village because they believed the people did bad things to innocent women and children. The group is considered dangerous by many countries.
Security experts think this attack shows how dangerous the area is. The fighters struck back quickly after the military operation. They seem to be strong and able to fight back fast.
Burkina Faso's government has not said anything about the attack yet. This shows how serious and complex the situation is. The country has been dealing with violence from terrorist groups for a long time.
The attack is part of a bigger conflict between terrorist groups and the government. It happens mostly in the northern and western parts of Burkina Faso. Many people are suffering because of these ongoing fights.
Experts are worried about what might happen next. The attack shows that terrorist groups can still cause a lot of damage. The situation remains dangerous for people living in these areas.
