<p>The British Government is appalled by the murder of six people in Burkina Faso
during a Sunday Church service on 12 May and other recent attacks on civilians peacefully
practicing their faith. We are deeply concerned at the deteriorating security situation
in Burkina Faso, which is spreading from the north to the east of the country, and
the increasing instability in the wider Sahel region.</p><p>The identity of the attackers
is not confirmed and there have been no claims of responsibility. The UK is committed
to work with Burkina Faso and international partners to help tackle instability and
protect freedom of religion or belief for all.</p>
