I was just doing my daily news check on the internet when I found this headline at the BBC:
Dozens die in Burkina Faso crash
The article begins with this:
At least 60 people have been killed in a collision between a passenger bus and a goods lorry in the west African country of Burkina Faso.
The two vehicles caught fire after the crash and many people were trapped inside the bus, a local official told AFP news agency.
The accident happened before dawn near the town of Boromo, 167km (105 miles) west of the capital, Ouagadougou.
It has also been picked up by Reuters and other news services.
I'm always alert for Burkina in the news, but the news is seldom good...

So sad. Another isolated incident in another remote country filled with real people with real hopes and dreams, and little control of their own destinies.
