Évasion de soldats maliens prisonniers des terroristes : La Mauritanie en colère à cause de...
Earlier this week, the General Staff of the Malian Armed Forces issued a statement announcing the escape of two Malian Armed Forces (FAMA) soldiers captured by terrorist groups. These soldiers reportedly escaped from a refugee camp located on Mauritanian soil.
In a statement relayed by the Mauritanian Information Agency (AMI), the Mauritanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs "rejected in the strongest possible terms" the claims of the General Staff of the Malian Armed Forces.
"A serious accusation"
He said he would not tolerate these "completely unfounded and deeply offensive accusations" made "without prior consultation through appropriate diplomatic channels".
According to Nouakchott , the M'Berra camp has been hosting tens of thousands of Malians and other nationalities for almost thirty years. It is protected.
To suggest that "terrorist groups could be holding people there is a serious accusation," Mauritania denounces.
He calls on Bamako to "assume its responsibilities, to observe greater rigor in its official communications and to favour the agreed channels in accordance with the practices of foreign policy".
To, certainly, defuse this slight tension between the two countries, the Malian Minister of Foreign Affairs , Abdoulaye Diop , received yesterday Tuesday, March 17, the interim chargé d'affaires of Mauritania in Bamako, Cheikhane Habibou Rahmane.
For a "sincere fraternal solidarity"
The meeting allowed the two men to discuss "current security issues".
The Malian minister said that during discussions with his host he noted "the need to further strengthen bilateral cooperation in a spirit of enhanced collaboration, sincere fraternal solidarity and constructive dialogue in the best interests" of both countries.
