“There were two Spaniards in the group – two journalists – and an Irish citizen. This is a dangerous area because terrorists, poachers, robbers and jihadist groups habitually operate there,” she said.
Both journalists had been working on a documentary on Burkina Faso’s attempts to protect its natural resources from poachers and on communities who live in the country’s national parks.
“The information on what happened at the time is confusing,” she said with authorities still working to establish the full extent of the attack.
No group has claimed responsibility yet. Insurgents linked to the Islamic State terror group and al-Qaida have led a campaign of violence across west Africa’s Sahel region and devastated ordinary life in Burkina Faso, where a million people are displaced.
