Mine event in Bam, WoussŽ area, Burkina Faso on Fri 15th July 2022

Between armed attacks and the explosion of mines, Burkina Faso is not yet out of the woods. On the night of Friday, July 15 to Saturday, July 16, 2022, the bridges in the towns of WoussŽ and NarŽ were blown up by a squad of armed men who cut off the road link between the town of Kaya, located in the north-central part of Dori in the Sahel. "Armed terrorist groups have again blown up the NarŽ bridge on National Road No. 1, and yesterday it was the WoussŽ bridge. This time, the town of Dori is completely cut off," said "Sahel Security". On the various images that have been shared on social networks, we can see that the destruction of these bridges has made it impossible to reach the capital in Dori. The destruction of this bridge makes the road impassable, as a source told RFI: "The road is not passable. The NarŽ bridge has been destroyed once again," said a transporter.
