UN calls on Mali to investigate Wagner group executions
The UN has demanded that Mail immediately open an investigation into the alleged execution of civilians by the Malian army and members of the Russian-backed Wagner group.
According to the Associated Press, the UN’s concern arose after several bodies were discovered near Kwala military camp in western Mali on either April 21 or April 22.
The bodies are believed to belong to a group of men previously taken captive by Wagner operatives, leading to suspicions that the group was involved in their deaths.
