‘At least 50 women abducted in Burkina Faso found’
DOUALA, Cameroon (AA) – At least 50 women recently abducted in northern Burkina Faso have been found, local sources reported Friday.
“The women abducted on the night of 12-13 January 2023 in Arbinda by terrorists have been found,” the National News Agency said, citing “reliable sources” without disclosing further details.
Armed groups took women and girls who were in search of wild fruit, according to Governor of the Sahel region Rodolphe Sorgho.
In the aftermath of the abduction, the prosecutor of the northern region of Djibo, Issouf Ouedraogo, reported that girls and newborn babies were among those taken.
The Burkinabe Movement for Human and People’s Rights and others reported at least 61 women were abducted, including at least 26 under the age of 18.
Burkina Faso has suffered insecurity due to terror attacks since 2015. Thousands of schools have been closed, thousands killed and millions more have fled the violence.
