Mali: 134 People Killed Amid Mounting Ethnic Tensions
-----------------------------------------------------

In the West African nation of Mali, the United Nations said armed men
killed at least 134 people from a Fulani community Saturday. Tensions
and violence between Fulani and Dogon communities have been on the rise;
in December, Human Rights Watch said "militia killings of civilians in
central and northern Mali are spiraling out of control." The government
has since banned the Dogon hunting militia that is believed to be
responsible for this latest attack.
