Mali reports new civilian massacre
The bodies of at least 10 civilians were found inside bags in a waterway in central Mali, after their summary execution by members of the army and the Russian "Vladimir" (formerly Wagner) Group on Sunday. According to local testimonies, the victims—about 11 individuals, including young men suspected of providing information to the rebels—were detained before being killed and their bodies thrown into the river. Officials reported that the victims’ throats were slashed, with both Malian and Russian forces accused of carrying out these operations amid a worsening security situation since 2012, characterized by increased attacks and the rise of extremist groups. These incidents occur against the backdrop of a severe security crisis that has persisted since the military seized power in 2020, amid ongoing separatist demands from the Tuareg and efforts by the government to assert control amid escalating violence.
