UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations expressed alarm Friday over reported mob lynchings and other reprisal killings of Tuaregs and Arabs as the Malian army retakes control of the north of the country.
Adama Dieng, a special adviser to UN leader Ban Ki-moon on the prevention of genocide, said there have been “serious allegations” of summary executions by the Malian army, which could amount to “atrocity crimes.”
French forces intervened in Mali three weeks ago to halt an Islamist advance on the capital and, with the Malian army, have taken back large chunks of territory from the militant groups.
