The strikers believed to belong to the ethnic group Fulani attacked the rival village of Dogon, Sobane Da, on the central mountain, between Sunday and Monday.
They killed at least 95 people and burned houses to the ground, thus continuing to massacre residents from one end to another for about a year to begin, Reuters reports.
All these victims of horror and barbarism remind us of the responsibilities we have as leaders to ensure security”, said Boubou Cisse, who became prime minister in April after his predecessor resigned after an earlier massacre by armed men from the village of Dogon in a village of Fulani in March, broadcast Koha.net.
I wish the soul of these innocent victims of disagreements and hatred would cease at peace”.
Violence between the Dogon hunters and the guards Fulani has killed hundreds since January, including the March attack, where armed men killed more than 150 men -- one of the most serious acts of bloodshed in the recent history of Mali.
Islamic militants have exploited tensions between ethnic groups in the Sahara and Sahel to increase recruiting and sow chaos, seemingly bearing fruit.
