Mass Grave Found as Mali Army Recaptures Kidal Town

A mass grave has been found in the north-eastern town of Kidal by Mali forces who recaptured the town from ethnic Tuareg separatists on November 16, 2023, BBC reports.

Mali's military took the volatile town from milita groups on Tuesday, November 14 but experts fear that possible fresh attacks might jeopardise lasting peace, writes Martina Schwikowski for Deutsche Welle.

The army has not disclosed any more details on the mass grave but said they are working to bring those responsible to justice.
