Ataques en Níger
March 23, 2021 -
Ataques coordinados han matado a cientos de civiles en el suroeste deNíger en medio de la violencia creciente entre grupos étnicos rivales
y milicianos yihadistas que llegan desde Mali y Nigeria.
Attackers on motorbikes raided several villages in southwestern Niger, killing at least 137 people, in the latest systematic massacre of civilians.
The region has seen increasingly deadly attacks by militants with links to Islamic State and Al Qaeda. The violence is part of a wider security crisis in West Africa's Sahel, where around 5,000 French troops have been sent to stabilise the region.
