We pray for Mali, where armed groups instigate violence, leading to killings and displacement. Concerns arise over alleged summary executions by Mali’s army and foreign military personnel. Rebel violence, escalating since 2012, recently resulted in 30 civilian deaths in Ogota and Oimbe villages. West Africa has witnessed a surge in violence, with 1800 attacks in the first half of 2023, causing 4600 deaths and severe humanitarian consequences. The situation is uncertain, and human rights groups are investigating the massacre in central Mali where 500 people lost their lives.
