Malian soldiers and suspected Russian mercenaries are believed to be behind the killings of around 10,000 inhabitants in the Mopti region between March 27 and 31 in Moura
Malian troops and suspected Russian mercenaries allegedly executed around 300 civilian men over five days during a military operation in a central town, Human Rights Watch said in a report on Tuesday.
A Mali military spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the report by New York-based HRW. Many were traders from surrounding villages who came to attend the town’s weekly livestock market. Some were infiltrated militants, the witnesses told HRW. Several witnesses also described white soldiers speaking an unfamiliar foreign language they believed to be Russian.
