Burkina Faso : Arrest of Sita Sidibé, a GSIM Terrorist cadre
Burkinabe Armed Forces and Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland (VDP) carried out a successful operation in the village of Kila, about fifteen kilometers northeast of Tansila in the Banwa province. This operation resulted in the neutralization of around fifteen terrorists and the seizure or destruction of materials.Among the highlights of this operation was the arrest of seven terrorists, including Sita Sidibé, a cadre of the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (GSIM).
Sidibé, well-known to intelligence services, had a particular past: he was a butcher in the Balavé commune before joining the ranks of terrorism in 2018.
Before becoming a criminal, Sidibé worked as a butcher, but his trajectory took a dark turn when he joined the forces of evil in 2018. Since then, he has been involved in numerous atrocities and terrorist acts, spreading terror in the region.
The arrest of Sidibé and his accomplices is a major blow to GSIM and its activities in the region. This operation demonstrates the effectiveness and determination of the Burkinabe Armed Forces and the Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland in the fight against terrorism.
Authorities have praised this operation as a significant success in the fight against terrorism in Burkina Faso. It highlights the dedication of the country’s security forces to ensure security and stability in the region by neutralizing terrorist groups and arresting their key members.
The arrest of Sita Sidibé, a former butcher turned criminal, also underscores the challenges authorities face in preventing radicalization and terrorist recruitment. It highlights the importance of cooperation between intelligence services and security forces to dismantle terrorist networks and protect the population.
