Zaidi ya raia wa kawaida 500 wameuawa kutokana na mashambulizi yanayofanywa na vikundi mbalimbali Nchini Mali kuanzia Januari hadi Machi, 2022.
Ripoti ya Umoja wa Mataifa (UN) imeelea kuwa hali ya usalama si nzuri, ikiwa ni ishara kuwa Jeshi limeshindwa kuwa na nguvu ya kudhibiti Nchi hiyo ambapo pia matukio ya manyanyaso ya haki za binadamu yameongezeka.

Over 500 killed in Mali clashes as military junta loses grip
Over 500 civilians died in attacks carried out by armed forces and Islamist groups in Mali from January to March this year, the United Nations said in a report on Monday that detailed a rapid unravelling of an already desperate security situation.
The killings represented a 324% rise over the previous quarter and highlighted the failure of Mali's military junta to limit human rights abuses or stop groups linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State from carrying out campaigns of violence.
They come just as Mali cuts ties with former colonial power France and as Wagner Group, a Russian private military contractor, steps in to help defeat militants who have carried out attacks in the centre and north for nearly a decade.
Mali's military, which took power in a 2020 coup, did not respond to requests for comment. Wagner Group could not be reached.
"Malian Armed Forces, supported on certain occasions by foreign military elements, increased military operations to combat terrorism ... some of which sometimes ended in serious allegations of violations of human rights," the U.N.'s Malian mission, known as MINUSMA, said in the report.
