AZAWAD: A PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL GENOCIDE

ANOTHER MASSACRE BY THE MALIAN JUNTA AND THE AFRICA CORPS TARGETING A WEDDING.

On October 29 there was a drone attack by the Malian army targeting a wedding, and killing 20 civilian people, mostly women and children (as always).

A video is circulating showing the dead victims and the damage. This happened in the area west of Gossi, in the Tinbuktu region, and it´s not an isolate thing, these things happens more or less weekly for the people of Azawad. They live under a constant threat and drone bombardment by the Malian regime (and the Russian mercenaries who are there only to get the gold.)

It was supposed to be a wedding… but it became a massacre of civilian unarmed people, in an area that has no armed militants present. It`s clear that hey want the Azawadian people gone. Gone and dead, so they can take over their land (Azawad) and extract the gold and other resources.

Local jihadists in southern Mali have been preventing the entry of fuel into major cities for the past two weeks, but so far the military junta has not used drones to eliminate these criminals. The generals in power don’t bomb their villages; drones are only used to bomb civilians in the North.

It’s clear that the Malian junta is pursuing a project of ethnic cleansing aimed at a section of the population, and not an objective of combating the national threat.

These drone strikes has been going on since 2023, but the genocide has been going on since 1963. It just took on a different “face” with Russian criminal mercenaries and Turkish drones targeting exclusively Azawadian civilians, mostly women, children, elderly and sick. As well as killing animals and destroy the nature itself.

In fact, what they are doing is a physical, environmental and also cultural genocide. What gives them the right to go to villages and kill the population? burn their homes and their shops, killing their animals and poisoning their water wells.

And on a another note, according to local reports from October 29, several water wells have been poisoned around in different locations in Azawad. These water wells is something that people in the desert depends on for their livelihood, as well as their livestock. The poisoning has resulted in the death of several animals.

Field investigations are underway to gather evidence and determine the extent of the losses.

Here are some more pictures of the damage that the Malian army and Africa Corps are doing to innocent civilians, who are just trying to survive:
