BBC ‘Militants killed’ in Burkina Faso sex slave raid 18 Nov 2019 Mary Harper

 ブルキナファソ軍が二箇所で作戦。一名の戦死を被るものの、「テロリスト」を計32名殺害、多数の性奴隷とされていたと思しい女性たちを解放したという。報告どおりならたいへんなお手柄。

The army in Burkina Faso says it has killed 32 armed men - described as “terrorists” - during two operations in the north of the country, the first of which resulted in the freeing of many women who were being kept as sex slaves.

The first offensive took place in Yorsala forest where the military said it killed 24 armed men during several hours of fierce fighting in which one soldier died.

Eight other suspected militants were killed in Bourzanga, where large quantities of arms and ammunition were seized, the army said.


 一箇所目で激しい戦闘があって、死者は敵側24の軍側1。二箇所目で大量の武器弾薬を接収したと。
 ブルキナファソはここ最近、こうした動きが散見されてて、大変ですね:

BBC Burkina Faso: Gunmen kill 37 in ambush on mining firm convoy 7 Nov 2019

At least 37 people have been killed and 60 wounded in an attack on a mining company convoy in Burkina Faso, authorities say.

 カナダの鉱山会社のコンボイが襲撃され、37名死亡60名ほど負傷。

The military has struggled to contain violence that spilled over the border from neighbouring Mali.

 マリから漏れてきてるんだよなあこの不穏情勢、と言う言及。あんまりにも不穏なので、都市から現場までの移動はヘリコプターによるか、陸路なら軍隊の護衛つきで、とお達しがでているとか:

In a statement, it said that expatriate employees would travel between the capital, Ouagadougou, and the mine by helicopter. It added that Burkinabe employees would travel by road with a "ground military force... combined with a heightened escort presence".

 2015年以来、情勢が悪化。少なくとも500名が死亡。困ったことに多くの例で犯行声明がない模様。

Once peaceful, Burkina Faso has been suffering from a rapidly deteriorating security situation. Since 2015, at least 500 people have been killed and nearly half a million people have been internally displaced. For most attacks, like this latest one, no group has come out to say it was responsible so it has been difficult to identify perpetrators.

 さらに困ったことに、軍だって人権侵害から自由じゃないんだよなあ、という:

These groups are not the only ones accused of violence in Burkina Faso: so-called self-defence groups and the security forces have both been accused of committing human rights violations.

 …「いつものことだろ」といわれたら、そうなんですけどね。
