Bourita: Morocco Reiterates Support for Mali’s Stability, Sovereignty, National Unity 

Mali’s stability is “fundamental” for regional stability, Bourita emphasized during a press conference following his meeting with the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, Christopher Landau, recalling that the Kingdom has already vigorously condemned the terrorist attacks that targetted civil and military facilities in Mali.

“Morocco condemns these attacks and considers that they are unacceptable and that they caused many victims,” he stressed.

The minister stated that the Sahel is going through a “very critical” phase in its history, warning, in this regard, against a “clear collusion between separatism and terrorism,” which requires intervention by the directly concerned actors, at both the regional and international levels.

“It is fundamental that we can engage in reverse dynamics, focused on stability and respect for the choices of the populations, where relations are based on cooperation rather than blackmail and intimidation,” he concluded.
