There is tight security in Ouagadougou for Fespaco
Two police posts in Burkina Faso were attacked by jihadists on Monday night, officials said, just months after 12 soldiers were killed by militants in a raid near the Mali border, AFP news agency reports.
It was unclear whether there had been any casualties from the latest attack, which took place in Soum province in the country’s north, security minister Simon Compaore told AFP.
The incident comes as the capital, Ouagadougou, is on high security alert, as it hosts the 25th edition of Fespaco , Africa’s biggest film festival, which takes place every two years.
