Two journalists from Mali’s state broadcaster ORTM have appeared in a video released by the armed Islamist group JNIM, more than six weeks after they were abducted in the centre of the country. Collgeaues have described the images as shocking.
Daouda Koné, the ORTM director based in Douentza in central Mali, and his cameraman Salif Sangaré were taken on 14 October while travelling between Sévaré, a major road junction near Mopti, and Konna, a town further northeast on the Niger River flood plain.
