Militants now control at least 40% of Burkina Faso, according to a report from ACIAfrica, raising concerns over the country's stability and security situation.

The report on Christian persecution also highlights growing tensions within the region, as extremist groups expand their influence across rural areas.

Burkina Faso is also dealing with significant internal displacement, as displaced women are working to rebuild their lives, CRS notes.
