About 100 people were killed in an overnight attack on a Dogon village in Mali on June 10, Malian officials said. Gunmen attacked the village of Sobane-Kou, located in central Mali, a local official told reporters.
The official confirmed that 95 civilians had been killed and authorities were continuing to search for others. Security sources at the scene of the massacre said the village had been almost completely wiped out.
Hundreds have been killed since January in clashes between the Dogon and Fulani communities in Mali. The two groups have a long-standing feud and frequently attack each other.
