While awareness over #Bucha massacre is important, don't overlook:
Mali has seen two massacres last month, ~ 200-500 victims each.

1. #Tamalat & surrounding villages in SE Mali, by IS against Tuareg civilians.
2. #Moura, by Malian army & Wagner PMC against Fulbe civilians.
Don't be selective with your solidarity, every murder by a war criminal is a tragedy, no matter where. Each can't be allowed to be without consequences for the perpetrators.

A little bit of additional info regarding the two massacres below:
Some info regarding #Tamalat (Tamalelt, location: google.com/maps/place/Tam…) and surrounding villages in Ménaka region is collected in this thread.

Boils down to "revenge" for Tuareg autonomist resistance to IS-terrorism, against rural Tuareg community.

And there's some info about the #Moura massacre (Location in central Mali: google.com/maps/place/Mor…). Basically, FAMa and Wagner surrounded JNIM Jihadis in the village and mowed down Fulbe villagers regardless.

Debunking thread 🧵 on the narrative of Z-propagandists like Aaron Maté and Elijah Magnier regarding the #Bucha/#буча massacre:

After giving up on "it's just actors playing dead", their story is now "actually, Ukrainians did it".

Only, it doesn't add up🔽 (1/9)
They're mainly pointing at this UA government publication:

"Today, April 2, in the liberated city of Bucha, Kyiv region, special units of the National Police of Ukraine began clearing the area of saboteurs and accomplices of Russian troops."

(2/9)
npu.gov.ua/news/stoprussi…
None of them mentions the next sentence:
"Explosives experts are investigating war crimes sites and seizing unexploded ordnance and ammunition."

Also, videos of massacred bodies on the street already appeared on April 1.

The Lost Places of #Artsakh:

Map of the occupied #Armenia|n villages and towns that were ethnically cleansed by #Azerbaijan.

#Hadrut #Shushi
Design by me, text by @kooyrig and me.

Complementary to the lost villages, I want to add this map by @LCarabinier about the Armenian monasteries of the region. Monasteries in the occupied areas are in danger of demolition:
Additional info: Another village on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan - off the limits of the map - partially affected by ethnical cleansing is Shurnukh (Location: google.com/maps/@39.38255…)

Frankly I don't even know where to start here, but this is one of the most unhitched takes I've read recently.

It seems like there is an intensive, but dilettantish effort by some Western Think Tanks to rehabilitate the fundamentalist AQ-offshoot HTS since 2021. (1/13)
The introduction starts with equating HTS with the PYD, which is beyond ridiculous, as these are literally the most diametrically opposed groups of the war: HTS is sectarian, authoritarian and misogynist, PYD secular, council democratic and feminist. (2/13)
That the authors have no regard for democracy or the well-being of women gets pretty clear in the piece: Both are mentioned only three times.

Democracy two times has the words "opposition to" in front it, the third time it's in the foot notes.(3/13)

Thread to sum up my criticism of the reporting of German media on Azerbaijan's war on Artsakh, which includes portraying war criminals as victims who have to care for their families:

rojavanews.net/item/1136-negl…
Most reports trivialize the situation. The @tagesschau wrote on Monday, that the situation could at some point escalate into a war.
However, there is already a lot of footage showing fighting as well as utterly brutal drone- and artillery strikes. This is clearly a war.

(1/12)
Also, @tagesschau outweighs Turkey's involvement by saying Russia supports Armenia.

While technically, there is an alliance in the CSTO, Russia did nothing to support Armenia. Yesterday, Putin even said that there will no Russian involvement in Artsakh.

Thread on the tragic story of the Udi people of Northern Azerbaijan:
The Udi are a small minority of maybe 5,000 to 10,000 and are speaking a language related to Lezgian and are mostly adherents of the Armenian Apostoplic Church.
The latter is also where their problem starts. (1/8)
The main settlement of the Udi was called Vartashen, where about 3,000 Udi speakers lived in the 80s, along some Armenians and Jewish Tats.
However, with the escalation of the Nagorno-Karabakh war - despite being far away - the Udi were cleansed from their homes. (2/8)

Thread:
I did some research on factional affiliation of al-'Uqaydat tribal confederacy's al-Bu Kamal branch in #DayrAzZawr province before the takeover of #IS and got some surprising results:
1) The most influental local Brigade in the area between al-Bahrah and the Iraqi border clearly appears to have been Liwa' Ahl al-Athar (@Alathr2012).

The Brigade was explicitly an al-'Uqaydat tribal brigade of the #FSA.

2) Another local faction was Liwa' 'Umar al-Mukhtar. It had a few members from the environs of ash-Sha'fah, but its headquarters were located in al-Bu Kamal city and it's support base also was predominantly urban.
