dc.description.abstractThis chapter focuses on my reflections nourished by the fieldwork I conducted in two regions of Burkina Faso (centre-North and centre – Kaya, province of Sanmatenga, and Ouagadougou, province of Kadiogo) between November 2023 to February 2024. It focuses on the experiences of the internally displaced persons (IDP) following and during terrorist attacks, services offered to the adult IDPs, and the social workers role in assisting them. I will also provide a narrative overview about the legacy of colonial relationship between Burkina Faso and France that shapes the experiences and needs of the population during the present-day terrorist attacks. The chapter will first provide an overview of the country. Second, it will present the context of the terrorist attacks while focusing on the case of the vulnerable population comprising internally displaced persons (IDP) and host families/communities. Third, it will examine the social work context and role shaped by the humanitarian urgency faced by both the IDPs and host families-communities. Finally, I offer an overview of the key findings about the needs of the IDPs and their impact on social workers.
