Mali is currently facing numerous conflicts throughout its vast territory. In the last 12 months we’ve seen increasing violence between herders and farmers in the country’s central regions. In the first half of 2019, there were two major attacks on civilians: one by Dogon militants against Fulani civilians in March, and one by Fulani militants against Dogon civilians in June. These attacks are part of a worsening trend of rising violence in Mali.
