Dozens of guests, many of them young people, at a wedding ceremony had their throats cut by a group of armed men. Mali has been struggling with violence from extremist groups for over 10 years. An armed group attacked a wedding ceremony in central Mali on Monday, killing at least 21 people, residents and local officials said on Wednesday.
The attack happened in the village of Djiguibombo, not far from the town of Bandiagara, in the center of the country. One local official pointed the finger at jihadists.
The West African nation’s military rulers have been struggling to combat growing violence by extremists.
