Another terrorist attack................

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-40920338

Gunmen have shot dead 18 people and injured others at a cafe in the centre of of the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, the government says.

At least eight foreigners and seven locals were among those killed in Sunday's evening attack on the Aziz Istanbul cafe, the government added.

The gunmen, thought to be jihadists, fired on customers on the terrace before making their way inside.

Two attackers were killed in a siege which lasted into the morning.

President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré condemned the "cowardly terror attack", saying the people of Burkina Faso would not give in to terrorism.
 
Sad news, prayers for those affected
 
Worked there about ten years ago, it was a sausage grinder then, doesn't sound like anything has changed much.

Life is tough and often short in such places.
