On 1 July 2024, around 40 people were killed by armed men in Djiguibombo, in the Mopti Region of Mali.[1] The attackers, who targeted a wedding ceremony, rode into the village on motorcycles.[2] While the attackers have not been identified, and no group has claimed responsibility,[3] the attack was blamed on militants.[4]
Since the start of the Mali War in 2012, northern and central Mali have experienced frequent violence from multiple factions, including ones tied to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.[5] Since gaining power after the 2020 coup, Mali's military leaders have struggled to contain the violence, and a 2015 peace deal with Tuareg rebels collapsed.[6]
