Amnesty International said on Friday that Malian civilians have faced grave danger from warring Malian troops and Islamist fighters, but also potentially from French forces during the ongoing conflict in the West African country.

Malian soldiers have committed human rights violations, including extrajudicial executions of civilians, before and during their joint campaign with France, according to a new report by the London-based group.

Salvator Saguès, Amnesty International’s researcher for West Africa, told France 24 that his organization was looking into a helicopter airstrike on a house in the central town of Konna that killed five people, including three children.
