Mali Army Committed Atrocities Against Civilians - HRW
Human Rights Watch has accused armed groups operating in Mali, including the country's national army, of committing atrocities against the civilian population. In its latest report on the situation in the West African nation, the rights group said the army has "deliberately" killed more than 30 civilians and burned at least 100 homes in the north and centre of the country.
The report also highlighted abuses committed by Al-Qaeda-linked Islamist groups and noted that the number of deaths could be underestimated "by hundreds" due to difficulty in getting information from some parts of the country.
