Chai! Dem don do am again o! For Burkina Faso, wahala don burst as at least 20 people die from latest jihadist attack wey happen for Titao town. Na the notorious group JNIM wey link with al-Qaeda carry out the attack on Saturday, and e strong well well.
Among di dead, seven Ghanaians dey inside dem, and dem bodies no even fit recognize again. Dem dey part of tomato traders wey waka come supply lorry, but na dem dem target. Ghana’s Interior Minister, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak talk say road don block, and embassy staff no fit follow up to check di place.
As we gather the gist, witnesses report say di attackers divide themselves into three gangs: one gang go military camp, second one go destroy telephone facilities, and di third one go loot shops and burn trucks. Na wah! Dis kind level no be wetin we suppose dey see for Africa!
Di Burkinabè army dey claim say dem don’t control di situation and dem don repel di attackers, but locals no dey buy dat story. According to multiple reports, many civilian lives don dey lost in just four days of ongoing attacks in di north and east of Burkina Faso. Dis fight don dey waka since 2015, and di death toll don pass tens of thousands!
But na di military don keh promise say dem go bring back security after dem take power for 2022, yet dem dey see wahala persist.
Di tomato and onion truck drivers’ association show dem dis matter don dey serious, as dem dey call for improve safety measures for traders wey dey cross di border to Burkina Faso to sell their items. Na so dem dey risk dem lives just to make small money every day.
So guys, make we dey vigilant and pray for our brothers and sisters wey dey face this kind gbege for Burkina. Security matter na serious business, and we all need to do our part to support each other!
