Mali: Suspected Jihadists kidnapped civilians

According to local sources, suspected Jihadists in central Mali have abducted over 110 civilians who were traveling on three buses six days ago. Jihadists intercepted the buses on April 16, and the passengers were forced to head towards a forest between Bandiagara and Bankass. The Bandiagara associations have demanded the release of the abducted passengers, condemning the persistent terrorist attacks and the increasing number of displaced people.
