Mali’s Prime Minister has pledged to beef up security in the country’s central region that has seen several attacks described as tit-for-tat ethnic clashes.
During a five-day tour of the region, Boubou Cisse said the government would create a bigger security net.
In the past year, dozens of people have been killed as members of the predominantly pastoral Fulani community have clashed with the more settled Dogon community.
The UN says that some 70,000 people have fled the violence.
