The European Union is calling for an investigation into the massacre of nearly 100 civilians including women and children in Burkina Faso
. The killings took place in the village of Zaongo in the Center-North region earlier this month, the EU said in a statement Sunday. “The European Union calls on the transitional authorities to shed light on the circumstances of this killing in order to determine responsibility,” it said. It's unclear who perpetrated the attacks, Burkina Faso's government didn't respond to a request for comment.
Earlier this month the junta enacted an emergency law against perceived dissidents to expand its crackdown, according to a report by Human Rights Watch. It notified at least a dozen journalists, civil society activists and opposition members that they’ll be conscripted to participate in government security operations across the country, the report said.
