Malian army

Amnesty International has documented cases of murder and torture committed by the Malian army and the Wagner paramilitary group in Mali, according to a report by RFI. The findings add to growing scrutiny of Wagner's operations in Africa's Sahel region, where the Russian-linked force has been deployed alongside government troops against armed insurgents.

A new report accuses the Malian army and foreign allied forces of committing war crimes against civilians in areas along the Mauritanian border, with the phrase 'no one is spared' describing the indiscriminate nature of the abuses. The findings point to unlawful killings and other violations in the context of Mali's ongoing conflict. Human rights groups are urging accountability and independent investigations into the alleged atrocities.
