At least 30 people were killed, which included 16 supporters of the army, in the four attacks suspected to have been carried out by militants in Burkina Faso, stated security sources on Friday. The four attacks took place in the West African nation on Thursday. The attacks were the latest to target a civilian auxiliary force, which supports the military in the seven-year-long fight against militants, in the country's north and northwest.
Burkina Faso, a landlocked country, is among the most volatile and poor nations in the world.
