The Malian army and its Russian paramilitary allies have killed civilians in violation of international law, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said in a new report, which also confirms the al-Qaeda-linked jihadist group (JNIM) summarily executed Malian soldiers following an attack on a military convoy in July.
"The Malian military, armed groups and insurgent forces are committing grave laws-of-war violations while international organisations and governments largely stand by," the rights watchdog said in a new report published Monday.
