Mali: Central Mali populations targeted by JNIM

#Mali 🇲🇱 | Since the beginning of September and despite significant flooding in the Dogon country ( #Mopti ), the Katiba Macina terrorists ( #JNIM ) have continued their attacks against the local populations.

🔹 The latest terrorist attacks were mainly carried out with the aim of seizing the livestock of shepherds and villagers.
🔴 Several shepherds were killed during the robberies, notably at #Fangadougou , #Bassagou_Kanda and #Sokoro_Kanda near #Diallassagou and #Timissa . One man died following an explosion of a #IED at #Sokoro_Kanda
🔵 Several hundred heads of cattle were stolen.
🔸 The Katiba Macina terrorists ( #JNIM ) are short of money and are looking for any means to finance themselves.
⚠️ The #RN15 is again under pressure from terrorists and the Christians of the region are forced to pay a tax to the terrorists in order to be able to practice their faith.
🔹 The appointment of Colonel Major Olivier DIASSANA as Governor of Bandiagara and his swearing-in on 9/09 will perhaps allow the region to better secure its inhabitants who have been prey to terrorist violence for years.
