27 killed in Burkina Faso raids
Officials in Burkina Faso say suspected jihadists have killed at least 27 people in attacks on villages in the north of the country at the weekend.
They said 15 people - some of them children - were killed in one attack late on Sunday in Kossi province.
Some witnesses said as many as 20 people had died.
In the other attack, 12 people were killed in Yatenga province on Saturday.
Burkina Faso, which is one of the poorest countries in the world, has been grappling with a jihadist insurgency that swept in from neighbouring Mali in 2015.
