Morocco's Support for Mali's Sovereignty and Security
On Tuesday, Morocco reaffirmed its unwavering solidarity with Mali during a session of the African Union’s Peace and Security Council (AU-PSC). The Moroccan delegation firmly denounced the recent terrorist and separatist attacks that have targeted both civilian and military installations in Mali, expressing heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and the Malian people. The Kingdom of Morocco reiterated its commitment to the sovereignty, security, stability, and territorial integrity of Mali, emphasizing the importance of supporting the national authorities in their fight against terrorism and separatism.
Call for Coordinated Regional Efforts
During the meeting, the delegation emphasized the necessity for a robust and coordinated regional approach that complements the national efforts of Mali. They highlighted the importance of mobilizing relevant resources to ensure a swift and effective response that aligns with the specific needs of the situation, while working closely with Malian authorities. A Moroccan diplomatic source previously condemned the recent “cowardly and criminal acts” that occurred in Bamako and other cities of Mali, expressing deep concern over the escalating violence. Morocco has consistently reaffirmed its support for Mali in its ongoing struggle against terrorism and separatism in both Mali and the broader Sahel region. Furthermore, it has been reported that an Al-Qaeda-linked jihadist group collaborated with Tuareg rebels to execute coordinated attacks against the Malian army over the past weekend, underscoring the urgent need for international solidarity and action.
