Russian forces target Arabs, Tuaregs, Fulanis in Mali
Amnesty International's report examines the violations and injuries committed by Russian forces and their mercenaries in Mali, documenting the deliberate killing of 34 civilians between 2023 and 2025 during joint operations with the Malian army. These operations included shooting at herders, beheadings, burning corpses, and mutilation. Reports also indicate arbitrary detention and torture within the Leri and Nambala camps, involving practices such as electric shocks, beatings, and psychological and physical torture, resulting in the death of five individuals. Additionally, a drone attack on the areas of Igdér and Tangatanga in 2025 killed 23 civilians and targeted residential zones without justification, which could constitute war crimes if intentional targeting of civilians is confirmed. Despite operations shifting to the "Africa Legion" under Russian control, the organization continues to highlight the lack of accountability and recurring violations, calling for independent monitoring and investigation to ensure the protection of civilians and hold perpetrators accountable.
