Over 200 people have been killed in a series of repeated attacks on a community in Burkina Faso which is believed to be predominantly Christian.
Fides News Agency, which informs people about mission work and conditions faced by Christians around the world, reported that the attacks started in early October in Manni village in the east of Burkina Faso, which saw Islamic extremists attack a military patrol, before attacking the local village market the next day.
They reported that the attackers set local residents and their cars on fire and shot others. The survivors, including the remaining Christians, have fled, despite some of them having previously travelled to Manni Village due to its reputation as a safe place for them to go to avoid persecution in the past.
