In April 2026, the Fulani and Tuareg communities in Mali reported experiencing abuses after a series of attacks attributed to jihadist groups.

These communities have come under suspicion of collaborating with the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (JNIM) and the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), which are known for their violent campaigns.

The situation has led to heightened tensions and fears for the safety of these communities, as they navigate the repercussions of being associated with extremist elements.
