Le Monde: In Niger, 39 villagers killed in a double attack by suspected jihadists near Burkina Faso
In recent attacks in western Niger, 39 people have been killed, including children, as jihadist violence escalates in the Tera border region. The defense ministry attributed these "barbaric acts" to criminals targeting defenseless civilians amid ongoing military operations.
The area, known for its insurgent activity linked to Islamic State and Al-Qaeda, has seen a surge in violence, with previous reports indicating significant casualties among both civilians and soldiers. The junta has dismissed some reports as false and has suspended BBC radio for three months following coverage of the violence.
