ABIDJAN: Four political activists in Burkina Faso, belonging to a political movement denouncing civilian massacres blamed on the army and allied militias, have been kidnapped, their group said on Sunday.
Their abduction follows that of another member of the same Servir et Non Se Servir (SENS) movement on Tuesday, and added to numerous other kidnappings of people viewed as critical of the country´s military rulers.
“On Saturday March 22, four other members of the national coordination committee, including two mothers with families, were abducted and taken to an unknown location,” the movement said.
