Gunmen surrounded the village before attacking people in their homes in Ogossagou in the country's Mopti region, a local official said.

The attack on Saturday targeted members of the Fulani ethnic community.

Ambassadors for the UN are currently in Mali addressing the increasing levels of ethnic and jihadist violence.

The victims of Saturday's deadly attack were "killed with guns and machetes", a local security official told AFP news agency.

Unconfirmed reports put the death toll far higher.

The government and the UN will have to enforce a disarming of the tribesmen. Guns, knives pointed sticks are a threat to the well being of the jihadists, in the pursuit of their holy duties...

The Fulani are usually the muslim raiders who prey on other tribes. They are migratory herdsmen, who typically strike and move.

This sounds like a counter-strike, or maybe just pro-active civil defense when some suspicious vagabonds move into the area.

Criminals and terrorists will obtain firearms whether or not they are legal. If only there was a way to ordinary, decent people could defend themselves against such threats. It’s a shame that not even one democrat in the United States and not even one globalist worldwide has any idea how normal people could make themselves safer.

Fulani Muslims have been slaughtering Christians in Nigeria in massacres that receive little mention in the Western press.

What goes around comes around.

Fulani Muslims slaughter Christians in Nigeria and there isn't a peep in the MSM. Fulani find themselves on the receiving end of brutality and it's covered everywhere.

Have they blamed Trump yet?

Name one non muslim country muslims have assimilated into and blended in with the native population successfully.

You can’t because it has never happened and will never happen. When will western countries wake up and ban Islam completely from their countries. Muslims cannot and will not assimilate. It’s against their cult-religion-war plan. They are conniving and have learned how to use our western laws against us to infiltrate and take over.

We are the stupid ones for allowing this.

No, it’s Tabakoto, Mali in 1989 when I was working for Trans-Africa Mining. The worst job I ever had.
