Two bridges were blown up by armed groups in Burkina Faso on Friday night by suspected Jihadists in the West African nation. The fighters blew up two crucial bridges raising fears that they intend to isolate the Sahel region. The attackers destroyed the Woussé bridge, forcing a convoy that was supposed to supply the town of Djibo to return to Kongoussi. The other bridge affected is the one located in the locality of Woussé, on the Kongoussi-Bourzanga road in the central north of Burkina Faso. The destruction of part of this structure forced the convoy carrying supplies to the town of Djibo to turn back.
