The military in Burkina Faso has detained several workers from a non-governmental organization (NGO) following accusations of spying. This development comes amid increasing tensions within the country concerning security and foreign involvement. Authorities have accused the NGO staff of gathering intelligence that could undermine national security efforts.
The detained individuals are currently being interrogated as the military investigates the extent of their activities. The incident has raised concerns among humanitarian groups about the safety and freedom of NGOs operating in Burkina Faso, a nation already grappling with security challenges from armed groups.
Government officials have yet to release detailed information on the case, but they emphasize the importance of safeguarding national interests. Meanwhile, international organizations are calling for transparency and respect for human rights while the investigation is ongoing.
