BAMAKO, Mali - Unidentified armed men massacred 31 civilians in simultaneous attacks on several Mali villages this week, then killed nine soldiers responding to the assault as violence surges in the c

ountry's conflict-wracked center.

Armed uniformed men travelling in pick-up trucks attacked four Dogon villages on Wednesday, one local official said by telephone, speaking on condition of anonymity for security reasons. Deploring the army's "inaction," he said: "It is always late and never confronts the bandits even if we tell them where they are." Officials did not immediately blame any group.

The attacks were not far from the village of Ogossagou, where 31 civilians were killed in February and 160 were butchered last year -- all Fulani.Unrest in central Mali has killed nearly 600 civilians this year, the United Nations said last month. The conflict has since traveled south, as well as spilling into neighbouring Burkina Faso and Niger, igniting a tinderbox of ethnic resentment and stoking fears for the future of the fragile nation.
