You got the facts then did you, Mister Factman?
Cool.
We learned gunmen stormed a mosque.
Very well, who were these "gunmen?" Why did they storm the mosque?
How would you know the answer from reading that article? They don't tell us.
Actually if we click one of the links in the article to read another article DW will give us a hint:
$1:
But in rural parts of the country's north, Christians, animists and moderate Muslims live in constant fear of attacks. Terrorists have also carried out serious attacks in the capital, killing dozens of people.
Hmmm...so who might be attacking Christians animists and "moderate Muslims" in the region? Apparently it's somebody they don't want to talk about in the parent article.
DW was able to find a march organizer (or so they tell us) in another city who tells us there is some sort of terrorism in the region although we have to guess what kind. But he seems to feel the real problem is western, colonial-type countries moving in to set up military bases in Africa on the pretext of stopping terrorism.
So is this guy telling us terrorism is the problem or is he saying colonial powers moving in on his African turf claiming they want to help stop terrorism are the problem?
All we know is DW seems to think this guy's opinion is pretty important, whoever he is.
Myself I might be more impressed if he was a little clearer on what his actual point was as far as it's supposed to pertain to the 16 people killed in the mosque in the small town of Salmossi.
But wait...DW buried the lede a la CBC. Apparently there are Jihadists in Burkina Faso.
Who would have guessed that from their previous expert's pointed finger at colonial military bases. Actually I did.
It's because I have access to media Beave will never read (so you know it's good.)
Would you like to see it? Here ya go. Here's what's really happening in Burkina Faso:
