Survivors accused traditional Dogon hunters of carrying out the deadly raid in Ogossagou, according to Boubacar Kane, the governor of Bankass district which covers the village. A security source told AFP the victims were shot or hacked to death with machetes.
Two witnesses questioned separately by AFP said hunters had burned down nearly all the huts in the village. Earlier the UN said the visiting ambassadors from the Security Council countries met on Saturday with Mali’s Prime Minister Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga and discussed with him the volatile situation in the centre of the country.
The Fulani have repeatedly called for more protection from the authorities. The government in Bamako has denied their accusations it turns a blind eye to — or even encourages — Dogon attacks on the Fulani.
