Suspected jihadists are holding 110 people captive after they were kidnapped in central Mali, according to local sources.
It was last week that three buses transporting civilians were stopped and then the people were allegedly forced into a forest, according to local associations and elected officials.
– We demand the release of the more than 110 passengers on the three buses that were kidnapped on Tuesday by the jihadists, says an association representative.
