A lot of people disappear in Mali and in Azawad (northern Mali) to never be seen again and often their relatives will never get to know what happened to them. In the case with these fulanis, they were discovered and videos and photos taken. That does not always happen.
Comments on social media:
In Mali, 64 bodies were found near the Kwala military camp, linked to the arrests of over 200 Fulani in Sébabougou on April 12, 2025. The Malian army and Wagner executed these Fulani in a radical and racist operation. Instead of attacking terrorists, they are killing innocent people.
The barbarism of the AES armies against our populations is beyond human imagination.
These kind of crimes are totally barbaric and should be condemned by the whole world. Blindly attacking and killing “anything that moves”…. armed or not, terrorist or not is a crime against humanity.
