At least 41 people killed in attack on two ethnic Dogon villages in central Mali, local officials say
Unidentified gunmen on motorbikes attacked two villages in central Mali, killing at least 41 people in a part of the country where ethnic reprisal attacks have surged in recent months, a local mayor said on Tuesday.
"About 100 unidentified armed men circulating on motos all of a sudden invaded Yoro and fired on the population," Ganame told Reuters news agency. The tit-for-tat violence in recent months has largely pitted Dogon hunters against Fulani herders. Attackers believed to be Fulani raided a Dogon village last week, killing at least 100 people.
On Tuesday, two labour unions representing civil servants called on state administrators in the Mopti region, where most of the attacks have occurred, to leave their posts and decamp to the regional capital due to death threats.
