| 2018-07-18 |
| [Al Jazeera] At least 289 civilians have been killed in intercommunal violence in Mali this year, according to the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... office. More than 75 percent of the incidents occurred in the country's central Mopti region, Rupert Colville, UN human rights front man, said on Tuesday. He added that the non-combatants were killed in 99 incidents of communal violence since the start of the year, with more than half of the killings taking place after May 1. "MINUSMA has documented ... an escalation of attacks allegedly carried out by Dozos (traditional hunters) and elements of Dogon militias against villages or parts of villages occupied primarily by members of the Fulani community," Colville said. Dozos, also known as Donzos, have been enmeshed in a long-running conflict with Fulani herders over land, grazing grounds and water rights. Earlier this month, Dogon fighters allegedly killed 16 Fulani civilians during a raid on a village, with some reportedly shot inside the local mosque and others burned alive in their houses, Colville said. |

| #2 They need some Texas raiders to come over and sort things out for them. I'd recommend Augustus McCrae or Woodrow Call. |

| #1 long-running conflict with Fulani herders over land, grazing grounds and water rights. Seems like some stuff that happened in the old west circa 1880's. |
