Gunmen have killed six people including a priest as Mass was being celebrated in a church in Dablo in northern Burkina Faso, officials say.

The attackers, said to number between 20 and 30, then burned down the church.

The town's mayor, Ousmane Zongo, said that there was panic as other buildings were burned down and a health centre looted.

Jihadist violence has flared in Burkina Faso since 2016, and this is the third attack on a church in five weeks.

Well written article on this

I am a Muslim, and I consider myself to be on the left, but I’m embarrassed to admit that in both Muslim and left circles, the issue of Christian persecution has been downplayed and even ignored for far too long.

I think there has been a rise of intolerance across the board and I also think it's going to get much, much worse. Hope I'm proved wrong, but it's not the way we are heading

All those attacks in a small space of time and we only here about it now....must be the wrong religion being attacked.

...totally horrific that humans carry out these barbaric acts toward each other for a belief...they were Christians..?...they believed in heaven...may that be where their souls are...:sad:..
