Prosecutors had charged Al Hassan with a number of gender-based crimes, saying the Islamic police terrorised the women of Timbuktu, who were subjected to rape, forced marriages and sexual slavery. While judges said rape and forced marriages did take place in Timbuktu they found Al Hassan bore no responsibility for such crimes….

What are Arabs doing in Mali?

abu taleb says
Arabs have been doing genocide in Africa and replace the North Africa natives with Arab ethnics by genocide, rape and subjugation. So, even Sudanese who have black skin color call themselves as Arabs. Probably Mali is no exception, the Mali muslims consider themselves as Arabs.
