On January 20, 2020, jihadists from Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin attacked the Mossi-majority villages of Nagraogo and Alamou, Barsalogho Department, Burkina Faso, killing 36 civilians.

Since 2019, northern Burkina Faso has been embroiled in two jihadist insurgencies by the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara and Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin, both predominantly-Fulani organizations that attack civilians along ethnic and religious lines.

Both villages are Mossi-majority, although several years earlier Fulani residents were evicted from the area by Mossi landowners.

Residents of the village initially assumed that the jihadists, who rode up on motorcycles, were remnants of the convoy until they started shooting civilians.
