Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has visited Burkina Faso to show solidarity with people who continue to welcome the displaced, despite grappling with their own insecurity, and said the world is not doing enough to help.

While Burkina Faso has been battling a five-year Islamic insurgency linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State that has killed thousands and displaced more than one million people, it is also hosting more than 22,000 refugees, the majority Malian.
