Le chef de l'ONU condamne les attaques au Mali et appelle à une réponse "internationale coordonnée"
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned "violent extremism" after attacks in Mali against the army in the junta-ruled country, claimed by jihadists and Tuareg rebels.
"The Secretary-General is deeply concerned by reports of attacks in several locations in Mali," said Antonio Guterres' spokesman in a statement Saturday.
"The Secretary-General calls for coordinated international support to address the evolving threat of violent extremism and terrorism in the Sahel and to respond to urgent humanitarian needs," he added.
Jihadists from the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (JNIM), affiliated with Al-Qaeda, claimed responsibility on Saturday for a series of coordinated attacks with the Tuareg rebellion against strategic positions of the ruling junta in Mali, on the outskirts of Bamako and in several important cities in the Sahelian country.
Mr. Guterres "strongly condemns these acts of violence, expresses his solidarity with the Malian people and stresses the need to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure," the statement continued.
The UN chief also called for "strong coordination and collaboration on security throughout the region".
Mali has been plagued by conflict and jihadist violence for more than a decade, but since the junta seized power in 2020, these attacks by jihadists and the Tuareg rebellion of the Azawad Liberation Front (ALF) are unprecedented.
