A report by Human Rights Watch finds civilians² in Burkina Faso are suffering from an increase in attacks by armed Islamist groups and government security forces.

人权观察组织的一份报告发现，布基纳法索平民遭受伊斯兰武装组织和政府安全部队袭击的次数增加。

The conflict has displaced millions and increased recruitment into armed groups, as Annika Hammerschlag reports for VOA.

据美国之音记者安妮卡·哈默施拉格报道，这场冲突使数百万人流离失所，并增加了武装组织的招募。

Nearly 600 people were killed between January and April this year - triple the number in the same period in 2021, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project.

根据武装冲突地点和事件数据项目的数据，今年1月至4月期间，近600人丧生--是2021年同期的三倍。

The number of people displaced has also risen, reaching more than 1.8 million by the end of February of this year - a more than 4 percent increase since the end of January.

流离失所的人数也有所增加，到今年2月底达到180多万人，比1月底增加了4%以上。

In addition to terrorist groups, government security forces have become increasingly abusive and subjected civilians to unlawful killings³ and abductions, the report said.

"Notably⁵, the rape⁶ of girls and women.

“尤其是对女孩和妇女的强奸。

I documented dozens of cases of girls and women who were sexually abused and beaten, as they forged for wood, as they went back and forth⁷ to the market, and as they fled their villages from fighting."

我记录了数十起女童和妇女被性虐待和殴打的案例，她们在打柴时，在市场上来回奔波，在逃离战火的村庄时。”

Burkina Faso's elected government was overthrown⁸ in January by military forces that blamed then President Roch Marc Christian⁹ Kabore for the rise in jihadist-linked violence.

今年1月，布基纳法索民选政府被军方推翻，军方指责当时的总统罗克·马克·克里斯蒂安·卡博尔挑起了与圣战分子有关的暴力事件。

But in the more than three months since the coup¹⁰, the junta¹¹ itself has failed to reverse the trend and restore peace and stability.

但在政变后的三个多月里，军方政府本身未能扭转这一趋势，恢复和平与稳定。

In early April, transitional President Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba said he was implementing¹² a new strategy that would show results within five months.

4月初，过渡期总统保罗-亨利·桑达奥戈·达米巴中校表示，他正在实施一项新战略，将在五个月内取得成果。

The changes include replacing heads of command, improving equipment and calling in retired¹³ military personnel.
