POOR NOMADS ARE HUNTED LIKE PREY IN AZAWAD:
Here is a transcription of a video posted by journalist Walid le Bérbére. It shows what the reality is for poor nomadic people living in Azawad. They are hunted like prey – by the Africa Corps Russian mercenaries, (ex Wagner) They live in a nightmare.
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
“I am writing to inform you that our situation in Goundam, especially in the west, is very tense. We ask all the faithful to send us their blessings. We are not seeking wealth. Today, we are being hunted like prey by mercenaries (Africa Corps) coming from all over.
We have neither weapons nor support from any warring party. We are left to fend for ourselves and rely only on God and your blessings.
I greet all my brothers and sisters. We are not safe from surprise attacks; these mercenaries are everywhere. The men remain hidden in the bush, while the women and children are being abused.
This situation affects all the communes and communities of Goundam and western Timbuktu.
I am making a heartfelt plea: please send our appeal to all states and all people of goodwill who are able to help us. We cannot go to Algeria or Mauritania. We are simply isolated nomads, with old donkeys and carts as our means of transport, living in abject poverty.
Very rarely does a vehicle pass by, and when we do, we only trade flour or a few other goods. We beg you to help us, even if only with your blessings.
We are exhausted and constantly harassed. We have read the Quran, tried every other avenue; your support is all we have left.
We are not asking for money, just to regain our sleep and peace.”
A WOMAN FOUND BEHEADED BY ELEMENTS OF AFRICA CORPS AND FAMa
Aguelhoc:
A woman beheaded by elements of the Africa Corps/FAMa. Only the head was found and buried. The rest of her body was not located.
In other words, the exactions on civilians by the Fama/AC/ex Wagner couple continues and this is yet another crime committed of the crimes that has been reported. The list of crimes done in silence and hidden from sight we can only imagine.
Some quotes seen on the social medias:
“The FAMAS terrorists and their Russian auxiliaries are continuing their campaign of ethnic cleansing in the Azawad region of Kidal (Adjelchok-Tessalite), where the body of a woman who was abducted a few days ago has just been found decapitated. Oh Lord, bring justice and punish impunity.”
Quote:
This is yet another crime added to the long list of violations committed against civilians in Azawad, amidst shameful international silence and disregard for the suffering of innocent people.
To God we belong and to Him we shall return.
Quote:
The National Human Rights Organization in Azawad announces the discovery of the body of a woman shot dead near the Ajlehok region by members of Malian regime militias and mercenaries from the African Union Corps. She was buried on the spot, constituting yet another attempt to cover up the evidence of this crime.
We strongly condemn this heinous act, which adds to the growing list of human rights violations committed against civilians in Azawad, amidst a shameful international silence and indifference to the suffering of innocent people. We call on the international community to take immediate action to end these violations and bring those responsible to justice.
This crime demonstrates once again the importance of protecting human rights and civilians in Azawad. We urge all international and regional organizations to condemn this crime and to offer their support to the victims.
We reaffirm our commitment to justice and peace in Azawad and call for a thorough investigation into this incident and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.

Quote:
After the videos we have been showed from Mali, and others, it’s more than proven:
CANNIBALISM is the “new normal” of barbarity instituted by official or private criminal organizations.
In the case of Mali, nobody cared about the complaints made to human rights organizations and the UN about the horrifying scenes – recorded by the Malian cannibals themselves, some dressed in uniforms with Malian Army insignia – committing cannibalism live.
In one of the videos, the cannibal removes the liver and heart of the victim, a Fulani teenager caught by the damned, while herding goats. Then he puts the liver on a grill and even says he was going to keep a finger of the boy as a souvenir.
Is the world going to wait for it to become commonplace? What are the limits of barbarity in the 2000s?
Quote:
International human rights organizations must break their silence on the massacre of civilians in Azawad by Russian mercenaries and their allies.
This woman’s head was found near Aguelhok, separated from her body, with spent cartridges lying around it.
HUNDREDS OF CATTLE BELONGING TO AZAWADIAN CIVILIANS KILLED.
Killing civilians in Azawad is not enough though, they also kill animals, a lot of animals, in an attempt to starve the population of their livestock.
According to reports: near Aguelhok, the Fama and the African Legion (ex Wagner) duo slaughtered hundreds of cattle belonging to Azawad civilians.
Instead of fighting the real terrorists they kill cattle in Azawad…
And it`s deliberate. As part of the scorched earth policy, part of the efforts of driving out the Azawadian people out of their land where they always have lived.
Hiring criminal mercenaries to kill both civilian people (mostly babies, women, elders and the sick) and then animals… tress and bushes, is a hyena mentality.
There is no honor in what they are doing, none.
