Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseMali’s President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita on Friday visited the graves of 37 villagers killed during a New Year’s Day massacre blamed on warring communities that is under investigation by UN rights experts. “We don’t want the army to leave the area because the bandits will come back and we are worried about our security,” Diallo said. Mali army forces were sent to the scene after the massacre and also went into Bobosso village, near the Burkina Faso border, following arson attacks, killing one suspect and detaining 24 others. The UN says more than 500 people were killed in violence in the area in 2018.
