| The military rulers in Burkina Faso have decided to extend by a year a string of emergency measures aimed at combating jihadist violence. | |
| The original decree stipulated that everyone over the age of 18 who was physically fit could be called up. | |
| It also said people's rights and freedoms could be curbed and it legalised the setting up of local defence groups. | |
| Correspondents say there have been cases where critics of Burkina Faso's military rulers have been abducted and forcefully recruited to help in the fight against the Islamist militants. | |
| Since 2015 more than two million people have been displaced by the jihadist violence. | |
