Burkina Faso's defence minister denounced what he said was an "international coalition" lined up against his country and alleged there had been violations of the country's air space. And the country's intelligence agency said an April massacre of civilians -- which some rights groups have blamed on the army -- was carried out by jihadist fighters dressed as soldiers. Colonel Kassoum Coulibaly, appointed by the military junta running the country, also echoed the denials by the new regime's leader, Captain Ibrahim Traore, that the Russian mercenary force Wagner was operating there. For more, FRANCE 24 is joined by Ilaria Allegrozzi, Senior Researcher of Central Africa at Human Rights Watch's Africa Division.
