In the Mopti region, a village has been severely impacted by violence. Nouna, located about 100 kilometres from Djenné, was once a thriving area with fertile land and abundant greenery. However, the landscape has drastically changed, with a thick layer of ash now covering the ground.

The village is struggling to cope with the effects of armed violence, which is affecting the ecosystem and vital resources. The land, which was once used for growing crops, is now barren and greyish. Further details about the situation in Nouna are available from ReliefWeb.

The impact of the violence on the village and its inhabitants is significant, with the community leader expressing sorrow over the loss of the land's fertility.
