This drone attack directly targeted a Tuareg wedding and the attending civilians, among them were also people from nearby villages. This was in Mima, in the Keita region, Timbuktu area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the at least 10 civilian victims (as we have read so far) are both women, children and young people. According to the Malian army and the Africa Corps (ex Wagner) these people were &#8220;terrorists&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that is only their &#8220;excuse&#8221; to kill civilians in Azawad of the Tuareg, Fulani and Arab (Moor) ethnicity under the pretext of &#8220;fighting terrorism&#8221;. The burnt earth policy and systematic genocide is what this is in reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So\u2026 they bomb a wedding with drones\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We ask<\/strong> &#8211; what kind of terrorist fight is this? civilians\u2026women, children, young people who have &#8211; HAD &#8211; their whole life in front of them! What right do the Malian army and Africa Corps have to take their lives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May God have mercy on the victims of this incredible brutality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-9364408b7827b8aad2b8323f70992609 wp-block-paragraph\">This happened on august 11, in the evening, according to the report on the <a href=\"https:\/\/tanakra.net\/?p=17105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tanakara website<\/a>, after the sunset prayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-575c977864f8516af8e7db5e679d1d34 wp-block-paragraph\">This is a systematic genocide and the crimes they do are war crimes.
