Five Indians Kidnapped in Mali Amid Rising Extremist Violence

Five Indians Kidnapped in Mali Amid Rising Extremist Violence

Imagine five people from India were visiting a country called Mali to help build things like electric lights.

But, some bad guys took them away while they were working.

This happened near a town called Kobri.

No one has said they did it yet, but this is happening more often in Mali because of groups causing trouble.

The company these people worked for has moved all the other Indian workers to the capital city to keep them safe.

Mali has been having a lot of problems with these groups for a long time, making it unsafe.
