US EditionSeveral dozen people in Mali hold a rare protest against the army after massacre allegations
- Around 20 Fulani civilians went missing after Malian armed forces arrested and allegedly killed them during a military operation in Diafarabé, central Mali, on Monday.
- This incident occurred amid ongoing conflicts involving jihadist attacks by the Al Qaida-linked JNIM group and follows years of human rights abuses since Mali's 2012 crisis and 2020 military coup.
- The army arrested 28 men at a livestock market, transferred them across a river, where one escapee reported the others were executed and buried in a mass grave, sparking rare protests of mainly women and children.
- Human Rights Watch reported that during operations in central and northern Mali, the Malian military and the Wagner Group were responsible for the deaths of numerous civilians and the destruction of more than 100 homes, while the Malian army has initiated an official probe into these claims.
- These events underscore worsening security conditions and ongoing tensions in Mali as military authorities shift alliances from France and the EU toward Russia, amid restricted freedoms and frequent human rights accusations.
