INVESTIGATE ‘WAR CRIMES’

HUMAN Rights Watch has said that Niger’s new government should investigate alleged war crimes in armed conflict since October 2019. The organisation said this was the perfect opportunity for President Mohamed Bazoum’s new administration to prioritise accountability so that the country could move forward. More than 310 people have been killed in Niger since January this year in massacres perpetrated by alleged armed Islamist groups, according to reports. | African News Agency (ANA)
