Mali to investigate claims soldiers ‘executed’ women and children

Mali’s military government is investigating claims that soldiers brutally killed 24 civilians in the northern region. The separatist Tuareg rebel alliance, FLA, accused Malian forces and Russian mercenaries of executing civilians traveling in two vehicles. The military, which took power through coups, has been accused of human rights abuses by rights groups. Mali recently withdrew from Ecowas and ended ties with France, marking a shift in its international relations.
