Burkina Faso's security forces are killing more civilians. Survivors detailed 1 village's massacre

Women slain with babies wrapped against their bodies. Lifeless children intertwined together. A 2-month-old face-up on the ground. The scenes were horrifying, but the 32-year-old farmer felt he had to photograph them, as proof of the carnage in his Burkina Faso village. He told The Associated Press that more than a dozen relatives were killed Nov. 5 when security forces attacked. He and two other survivors spoke on condition of anonymity, for fear of retaliation. They said dozens more were killed that day. Their interviews and the man's photos are rare firsthand accounts amid a stark increase in civilian killings by Burkina Faso’s security forces. The junta is struggling to beat back a growing jihadi insurgency, as it attacks citizens under the guise of counterterrorism.
