Internationally prohibited cluster bomb used by the Malian junta and the Africa Corps against the civilian population in Azawad.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What the people of Azawad\u2014Arabs, Tuaregs, and Fulani\u2014are experiencing today is not just a war, but a systematic campaign of extermination perpetrated in cold blood under the false pretext of ‘fighting terrorism.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drones of the military junta in Bamako, benefiting from the direct support of the mercenaries of the African Legion, themselves backed by Russia, continue to bomb villages, markets, and civilian gatherings with weapons prohibited by international law, thus revealing the true face of this bloodthirsty regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cluster bombs scattered throughout Azawad are nothing more than instruments of massacre, primarily targeting children, as their remnants form deadly traps that kill shepherds, women, and innocent civilians. These are blatant war crimes that no political or military rhetoric can justify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities of Bamako has crossed all boundaries, attacking the very existence, dignity, and land of the people of Azawad, and treating civilians as legitimate targets, while the world remains passive, a daily witness to the bombings, destruction, and massacres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We condemn these heinous crimes in the strongest possible terms and hold the Malian military junta and its foreign mercenaries fully responsible for the bloodshed of innocent civilians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also demand that the United Nations and international human rights organizations break their shameful silence and launch immediate investigations into the use of internationally prohibited weapons against the people of Azawad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The silence of the international community is no longer synonymous with neutrality, but with complicity, giving carte blanche to the perpetrators of these crimes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The people of Azawad will remain steadfast, despite the bombings and terrorism, vigorously defending their legitimate right to life, liberty, and dignity. his ancestral lands.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manifestation has been held in Kidal and Tinzawatene against the use of illegal cluster bombs and the genocide on the people of Azawad.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day, new facts emerge in Azawad<\/a> that all confirm the horrific violations<\/a> against defenseless civilians; on may 21st, 2026, in Amshash, an ID card of one of the disappeared was found in a deep pit, as well as skulls of several individuals were found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world and its human rights institutions are at a crossroads to uncover what happened there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
