While the general advisory to Burkina Faso is level 3 – reconsider travel, the State Department advises against traveling to one region in the country — the northern Sahel border with Mali and Niger.

In that region, organized criminal groups and terrorists particularly target westerners, plotting kidnappings. In the entire country — a landlocked nation in western Africa — terrorist targets could include hotels, restaurants, police stations, and schools.
