尼日尔西部村民赶集途中遭伏击至少38人死亡：事发蒂拉贝里地区，枪手身份不明
尼日尔西部蒂拉贝里（Tillabéri）地区11月12日发生一起伏击事件：Tillim 村村民在本地自卫队成员护送下，前往 Téra 镇的每周集市途中遭身份不明枪手袭击。据法新社援引当地消息源报道，至少38人在袭击中死亡。
一名前地方民选官员对法新社说，37人当场死亡，另有1名伤者于11月13日伤重不治，死亡人数升至38人。死者包括11名自卫队护送成员、20名男子和7名妇女，当地居民说，儿童也在死者之列。数名伤者被送往附近医院救治。
事发地点位于 Téra 与 Tillim 之间，靠近尼日尔与布基纳法索、马里三国交界地带。蒂拉贝里地区长期受到与基地组织和「伊斯兰国」有关联的武装团体袭扰。据冲突监测机构 ACLED 的统计，该地区是中部萨赫勒地区针对平民袭击最严重的地区之一；联合国数据显示，尼日尔全国约45万名登记在册的流离失所者中，近半数身处蒂拉贝里地区。
截至法新社发稿，没有任何组织宣称对这次袭击负责，尼日尔政府也没有立即发表声明。由于死亡数字来自当地消息源、尚未得到官方确认，具体人数可能还会变化。（来源：法新社）
At Least 38 Killed in Ambush on Villagers Heading to Market in Western Niger
At least 38 people were killed on November 12 when unidentified gunmen ambushed villagers travelling to a weekly market in Niger's western Tillabéri region, according to local sources cited by Agence France-Presse (AFP). The residents of Tillim village were travelling under the escort of a local self-defence group toward the town of Téra when the gunmen struck.
A former elected official told AFP that 37 people were killed at the scene and that another injured person died of wounds on November 13, bringing the toll to at least 38. The dead included 11 members of the self-defence escort, 20 men and seven women, and residents said children were also among the casualties. Several wounded survivors were taken to a nearby hospital.
The attack took place between Téra and Tillim, near Niger's borders with Burkina Faso and Mali. The Tillabéri region has long been hit by attacks by armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. According to the conflict monitor ACLED, the region was the deadliest in the central Sahel for targeted civilians last year, and United Nations figures indicate that close to half of Niger's roughly 450,000 registered displaced people live in Tillabéri.
No group had claimed responsibility for the attack in the reporting available on November 13, and there was no immediate statement from Niger's government. Because the toll rests on local sources and has not been confirmed by officials, the figures may change as more information becomes available. (Source: AFP)
