Malian armed forces, in collaboration with Russian-backed Wagner Group, have deliberately attacked civilians, resulting in the deaths of at least 32 individuals, including in drone strikes.
Human Rights Watch reported that jihadi groups executed at least 47 civilians and displaced thousands, in addition to burning homes and looting livestock critical for nomadic communities.
Ilaria Allegrozzi from Human Rights Watch emphasized that both the Malian army and Islamist armed groups have committed violations of wartime laws, targeting civilians.
The withdrawal of the U.N. peacekeeping mission has intensified violence in Mali, with Wagner mercenaries allegedly supporting raids and drone strikes that kill civilians.
