„The army had cordoned off the roads, blocking access, until April 24. It was only after that date that some people were able to return to Karma and the surrounding villages, where the violence had taken place, to identify the victims and help the families bury their loved ones,“ said Diallo.

The CISC published a first communiqué on April 27, stating that 136 bodies had been found in Karma, including „50 women and 21 children, among them babies under 30 days old killed on their mothers’ backs“
