 Burkina Faso's army says it has killed at least 20 terrorists and destroyed four of their positions in a combined operation in two northern regions badly hit by jihadist insurgents. The operation was launched on May 5th in the north, and Sahar regions bringing together conventional and special forces, the Air Force and Gen de Maree. The armed forces have made many announcements of similar operations in the past but are failing to stem a mountain tall inflicted by the Sahel country's five-year-old jihadist crisis.
