On Oct. 6, terrorists conducted two mass murders in Burkina Faso dioceses within hours of each other. In the Nouna Diocese, three teenagers were travelling from Mali to begin the school year. Terrorists stopped the bus, pulled the teenagers out, and shot them in the Dijibasso parish. Hours later, shots were fired at vehicles traveling from Nouna to Dédougou, killing 15 people. The previous day in the Fada N’Gourma Diocese, a catechist was kidnapped during Sunday Mass. “He was specifically targeted,” a local source told Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).
