MEMBERS of rival student unions in Burkina Faso’s capital used batons and bludgeons against each another during clashes on Wednesday at the University of Ouagadougou campus. The clashes broke out after the National Union of Faso Students (UNEF) ordered a four-day strike beginning on Monday, while the larger National Association of Burkinabe Students (ANEB) expressed its opposition to the strike, and instead called for negotiations with the government. Students who showed up for class on Monday were violently pushed out of their classrooms by UNEF militants. Six members of the rival ANEB union were injured.
