At least 11 civilians living in a camp for displaced people killed in a raid by unidentified armed men in northern Mali
At least 11 civilians living in a camp for displaced people have been killed in a raid by unidentified armed men in northern Mali, according to officials and humanitarian workers.
The Kadji camp for displaced people is just kilometres from Gao, the capital of the region of the same name which has faced mounting unrest in recent months. The region has seen a major offensive by the Daesh terror group since March. "All the shelters were set on fire and all the livestock there were taken away," said Mohamed Toure, the UNHCR representative in Mali.A commander of army operations in the region, Colonel Famouke Camara, described the attack as a reprisal by armed fighters against youths they had encountered earlier this year in Tessit who have since taken refuge in the Kadji camp.
