The terrorism index in Burkina Faso stood at 8.56 points in 2022, revealing high levels of terrorism threat. The index measures the direct and indirect impact of terrorism on a scale from zero (no impact) to 10 (highest impact). In the period examined, the index in the country increased annually, following the dramatic escalation of violence and the increased risk of terrorism. Since 2015, extremist armed groups connected with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State have been the perpetrators of several terrorist attacks in Burkina Faso.
