Malian armed forces and Russian mercenaries from the Africa Corps are accused of killing four individuals near the towns of Zarho and Abakoïra in northern Mali on June 23rd. The killings occurred in a region intersecting the Tombouctou and Gao regions. Following the movement of a military convoy, local residents discovered a disturbing scene. A dismembered corpse was arranged in the shape of a swastika. This macabre display has raised serious concerns about human rights abuses and the conduct of both Malian forces and their Russian allies. The incident underscores the escalating violence and instability in the region. No official comment has yet been released by the Malian government or the Africa Corps regarding these allegations.
