| A colonel in Mali's army has been arrested over his recently released book, which contained allegations that the army has committed human rights abuses against civilians. | |
| In the 400-page book titled Mali: The Challenge of Terrorism in Africa, Col Alpha Yaya Sangaré, citing human rights groups, wrote: "Since 2016, the FDS [Defence and Security Forces] have engaged in abuses against people accused to be part of terrorist groups". | |
| He added that army personnel committed the abuses "with the complicity of the military hierarchy". | |
| Mr Sangare was arrested late on Saturday, but the arrest was confirmed by his family on Sunday. | |
| Mali's defence ministry had last Friday denounced the allegations published in the book, terming them "false". | |
| Several international rights groups have accused Malian troops of abusing and executing civilians in their fight against Islamist insurgents. | |
