A young Malian TikToker, Mariam Cissé, has been abducted and killed execution-style by suspected jihadists in the Timbuktu region, after being accused of helping the Malian army.

Cissé, who was in her 20s and had over 100,000 followers on TikTok, was known for sharing videos about life in her hometown of Tonka and for expressing support for Mali’s armed forces. Her shocking death has sent waves of grief and anger across the country.

Her brother told AFP that she was accused of “informing the army of jihadist movements.” She was reportedly taken to Tonka on a motorbike and executed in public at Independence Square, while her brother watched helplessly in the crowd.
