Weekly news bulletin on human rights violations in Azawad from 03 to 09 February 2025.
Réf: 2025/006/ CD-DPA.
These violations, committed in particular by the Malian armed forces (FAMA), accompanied by Wagner’s Russian militia during the week indicated above, resulted in arbitrary arrests, abuses, looting of goods and personal property belonging to civilians supposed to be protected and secured.
Everything suggests that these actions against certain communities, especially nomads, constitute a deliberate policy of the Bamako authorities aimed at emptying certain areas of their inhabitants of origin.
Following this depopulation policy, we have recently seen a massive displacement of civilian populations in the far north of the country and towards Mauretania.
Below are the details of the facts:
