URGENT | On May 27, 2026: A crime that shakes the conscience of humanity in Mali.
This Tuareg woman was killed in Aguelhok, Azawad (northern Mali) by Russian soldiers belonging to what is known as the “African Corps,” while she tried to save her father from the hands of oppressors who executed him in cold blood before her very eyes.
What humanity remains in this world when a woman is murdered simply for trying to protect her father on the day of Eid, while the world remains silent? What conscience can accept that the Sahel region has become a field of blood where innocent people are killed without trial, without evidence, and without even respecting the sanctity of Eid al-Adha?
What is happening today in Azawad is not a “fight against terrorism,” as some would have us believe, but a true human tragedy for which civilians are paying the price: women, children, the elderly, and innocent people whose only “crime” is living in a region where human life seems to have lost all value.
Even in wars, there are limits and humanitarian laws. But what we are witnessing today transcends all values and morality. Killing civilians, bombing villages, terrorizing families, and executing innocent people will never build peace; it will only fuel further hatred, pain, and destruction.
The most painful aspect is the silence of certain states that constantly talk about “human rights,” while supporting the Malian military regime or turning a blind eye to the crimes committed against the people of the Sahel.
Where are the voices that claimed to defend humanity throughout the world? Or does the blood of the Tuareg and the innocent people of Azawad have no value in the eyes of this world?
To remain silent in the face of injustice is not neutrality…
To remain silent in the face of the massacre of innocent people is to become complicit in the crime.
And those who remain silent today will be judged by history before they are even judged by their own conscience.
May God grant His mercy to the victims, protect the innocent, and reveal the truth to the whole world.

The Malian army and the Russian Africa Corps mercenaries also burned several hamlets in Elewidj and abducted several people, leaving this Tuareg woman murdered on the spot in front of her father and the local mercenaries who were acting as guides.
In front of her father who she tried to protect… she was killed. And because she and her father were Tuareg.
Also, three women were kidnapped by the same patrol, may God help them… and several civilian trucks transporting water were burned, hamlets were scorched, and donkeys were killed. Living in Azawad/Mali and being either Fulani, Tuareg or Arab/Moor is the same as having your life being in severe danger every single day.
Aguelhok, also known as Adjelhoc, is a rural commune and village in the Kidal region in Azawad, of north-eastern Mali in the Tessalit Circle.
This is the trademark of the Africa Corps mercenaries and their auxillaries Fama/the Malian army, burnt, burnt and burnt…. always these black scorched houses, and massacred civilian people.
The genocide in Azawad on Fulani-Tuareg-Arabs (Moors) goes on while the world remain silent.
To remain silent is to be complicit.
