The clashes have killed more than 1,000 since December and the United Nations says 935,000 have been driven from their homes. Mali's government has chartered two flights to evacuate around 500 of its citizens on Sunday while 150 of Niger's citizens arrived back in the capital Niamey on Friday night. &quot;I can't say whether there were incidents of aggression against Malians, but most countries have now decided as a precaution to bring home their citizens,&quot; said Mali government spokesman Mahamane Baby.</p><br clear="all"/>
