Terrorists launched between Saturday April 15 and Sunday April 16, 2023, several attacks to probably mark the assumption of command by a new leader. But the Combatant Forces neutralized more than a hundred among them and recovered important logistics, AIB learned from security sources on Sunday.

Near the Banh school in the Sahel, air vectors orbited a column of terrorists they were following. The surgical strikes operated were conclusive and the assailants neutralized. Saturday, north-east of Ouahigouya, the enemy targeted a temporary stationing of the Combatant Forces, causing about forty loss of human life, during very violent combats. Fortunately, the attackers were subsequently spotted about 30 km from the scene by aerial vectors, before being decimated throughout the night. Very early Sunday in Kongoussi, the terrorists, who tried to attack a position of the Combatant Forces, suffered a crushing defeat. A dozen of them were neutralized by the elements on the ground and by the air vectors for the fugitives in several places.

Important logistics have been recovered by the brave fighters. In Foutouri in the Eastern region, the Combatant Forces went to meet the enemy when they learned that he was planning to attack civilians. Faced with the firepower of the FDS and the VDP, the terrorists fled but were short-circuited by air vectors. The strikes made it possible to neutralize several of them. According to our sources, the terrorists organized these attacks to mark the assumption of command by a new leader. Because it is very likely that their leader, Djaffar Dicko, was killed by a Burkinabe army drone on April 1, 2023 in Nassoumbou. It should be noted that the Combatant Forces also ensured, during the past hours, the supply of several localities. Our interlocutors ensure that the operations will intensify within the framework of the reconquest operation. The FDS and the VDP ask the lost to save their lives, by surrendering their arms.
