Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso: Suspected jihadists killed around 50 civilians in Burkina Faso, the Eastern region's governor said Thursday (Friday in Manila), in the latest attack in the impoverished Sahel nation.

The civilians from Madjoari died on Wednesday trying to flee a jihadist blockade, said Colonel Hubert Yameogo in a statement, adding that the toll was provisional.
