Burkina Faso
Violence and atrocities committed by armed Islamist groups, state security forces engaged in counterterrorism operations, and pro-government militias have exacerbated the humanitarian and security situation in Burkina Faso. Of particular concern are the gravity and number of attacks against teachers, students, and schools by armed Islamist groups. Few efforts have been made to hold those responsible for these abuses to account.
