Trucks carrying aid have arrived in Djibo, Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso's northern city of Djibo has seen a convoy of 74 food-carrying trucks for the first time in at least five months.
To prevent attacks, the extremists have been stopping assistance deliveries and closing the town's roads for months.
According to the French radio station RFI, help has been delivered to the village of Djibo for the first time since November 2022.
This, according to a storekeeper in Dibo town, is a joyful development.
According to a security source, the cars traveled for three weeks without incident, avoiding ambushes and roadside bombs, until arriving in the town on Tuesday.
The town's citizens have been protesting, and they want the authorities to solve the security issue and deliver relief to the region.
Due to the actions of rebels who infiltrated Burkina Faso from Mali's neighboring nation in 2015, the nation is suffering.
