Hamza Suhuyini, a member of the National Democratic Congress, spoke about the recent attack. He urged the African Union (AU) to take a more direct role in ensuring security.
The attack involved Ghanaian traders in Burkina Faso. Suhuyini stated that regional bodies like ECOWAS are not doing enough to protect people.
He believes the AU and ECOWAS must increase their efforts in the Sahel region. This includes better strategies to prevent such violent incidents.
Suhuyini is part of the NDC's communications team. He emphasized the importance of peace and safety for citizens within the region.
