Burkina Faso's military government arrested eight INSO aid workers, accusing them of spying, while the group denies the claims.
Burkina Faso’s military government has arrested eight staff members of the Netherlands-based humanitarian group INSO, including nationals from France, the Czech Republic, Mali, and Burkina Faso, on charges of spying and treason.
Authorities allege the group continued operating after being banned for collecting sensitive data without authorization, claiming they engaged in covert intelligence activities.
INSO denies the accusations, stating its work involves publicly available information to protect aid workers.
The arrests reflect broader tensions between Burkina Faso and Western nations following its 2022 coup, alignment with Russia, and formation of the Alliance of Sahel States with Mali and Niger, amid ongoing conflict with al-Qaeda-linked armed groups and rising concerns over human rights abuses.
