Burkina Faso has dismissed a report from a rights group accusing the military of executing 223 civilians -- including more than 50 children.
Human Rights Watch says Burkina Faso's army carried out the killings in two northern villages in February.
The report says they were executed as part of a campaign against civilians accused of working with armed groups.

Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque has more from Senegal's capital Dakar.
