BAMAKO, Mali — At least 95 people in an ethnic Dogon village were killed early Monday morning in the latest massacre to destabilize the West African nation of Mali, a government official said on Monday. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, though it appeared that it could have been an act of retaliation. Tensions have been high since a militia from the Dogon ethnic group was accused of carrying out a larger massacre in an ethnic Fulani village in March. Youssouf Toloba, who leads the Dogon militia known as Dan Na Ambassagou, has denied that his fighters carried out the bloodshed in March that left at least 157 people dead. Some Fulani leaders, however, have vowed to carry out reprisal attacks.
