ISIS terrorists kill at least 22 people in northeastern Mali
DOUALA, Cameroon (AA) – More than 20 people, including those who had been displaced from their homes, were killed on Sunday near Menaka in northeastern Mali, a pro-government armed group said Wednesday.
“Armed men broke into a camp not far from the locality of Izingaz, commune of Ihinita, circle of Tidermene, Menaka region, on June 12, 2022, and proceeded to the summary execution of 22 people, including displaced persons who had come to seek refuge in this area,” the Platform of the June 14 Movements of Algiers group said in a statement.
The group demanded an investigation by the competent authorities, human rights organizations and the UN mission in Mali.
It pledged to “do everything possible to ensure that these crimes do not go unpunished.”
Mali is one of the Sahel countries under the yoke of terrorism. Attacks by terror groups affiliated with ISIS are frequent.
