These summary executions, destruction of civilian property, and enforced disappearances.Demands the immediate opening of an independent international investigation to establish responsibility and prosecute the perpetrators of these war crimes.

Calls for the urgent protection of civilians, particularly the nomadic communities of Lake Faguibine.
– CALL OUT TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY:
The Panel of Democrats calls on the United Nations, the African Union, ECOWAS, the European Union, and human rights organizations to acknowledge the gravity of these crimes, document the violations, and initiate diplomatic and legal action to end impunity.
These repeated massacres are no longer military operations; they constitute a campaign of cleansing against entire villages.
