A desk-reviewed report has reported an escalation in ethnic violence against Fulani civilians on the outskirts of Bamako, Mali. The source describes civilians targeting perceived Fulani and Tuareg sympathizers of the JNIM militant coalition. One documented case of severe mutilation involves a Fulani man of military age who had his hand severed. Additionally, multiple reports of cannibalism have emerged following the 25 April attack on Bamako, including an incident in which a suspected Tuareg man was reportedly killed, set on fire, and partially consumed. These claims are based on a single, unverified source and remain unconfirmed by independent reporting or official Malian channels. The reports are developing, and further details are awaited.
