“A substantial part of the population in central Mali depends on the work done during the rainy season to sustain their livelihood. The failure to protect civilians, including farmers, from these brutal attacks could lead to a humanitarian crisis. Deliberate attacks against civilians amount to war crimes and must not be tolerated. Authorities in Mali must investigate these killings and prosecute those suspected in order to deliver justice to the victims. They must also act on their commitment to fight against impunity for perpetrators of human rights abuses and violations committed in the country and punish accordingly those found responsible.”
