Twenty killed, several injured in Mali village attacks; jihadist groups suspected.

Twenty people were killed and several injured in attacks on six villages in Mali's Bandiagara region on Friday. The assailants, believed to be jihadist groups, burned grain silos and caused local populations to flee. This incident raises concerns about the effectiveness of Mali's military efforts against such groups, which have been active since 2012. The military junta has not yet commented on the attacks.
