In an effort to combat jihadist activity, Burkina Faso is offering a substantial reward of up to $300,000 for information leading to the apprehension or elimination of individuals on a wanted list of “terrorists.”

The country’s security services have released the photographs of 20 actively sought-after terrorists, each carrying a specific bounty.

Sidibe Dramane (alias Hamza) and Diallo Moussa (alias Abou Ganiou) top the list with a reward of 180 million CFA francs.
