“Second is the need to secure the adequate and sustainable funding identified by our Heads of State to the tune of â‚¬423 million at the start and â‚¬115 million per year thereafter. The third is the need to launch offensives throughout the Sahelo-Saharan band. In conclusion, on behalf of my country I once again thank Council members for their interest, as demonstrated by their consensus in making the G-5 Sahel Joint Force a reality. The meeting rose at 4.05 pm.”

“That is why since 2008, we have made the fight against violent extremism, terrorism and the cross-border trafficking of drugs and persons a priority through a multidimensional national strategy to effectively combat such crimes. To that end, and in the light of the commitment of the highest authorities of my country, including the President of the Republic, His Excellency Mr. Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, Mauritania is firmly committed to the principles of the G-5 Sahel Joint Force and recalls the importance and critical nature, today more than ever, of the following three points for a more effective, efficient and effective operationalization of the G-5 Sahel Joint Force. The first is the international legality of the Force based on the express authorization of the Security Council and the mandate it has provided under Chapter VII.”

“Allow me to reiterate that, today more than ever before, my country is wholeheartedly committed to the spirit and founding principle of the G-5 Sahel. Since February 2014, we have been committed to meeting the peace, security and development challenges in the Sahel region and elsewhere, as evidenced by our participation in the peacekeeping operations of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic. As Council members are aware, from the very outset Mauritania has both understand and appreciated the magnitude of the challenges posed by the terrorist threat in the region.”

“We salute the efforts of the co-leaders of the mission, namely, France, Italy and Ethiopia. I reaffirm the deep gratitude of my country to the United Nations for its commitment to peace, security and development in the Sahel region. My country also seizes this opportunity to recognize the efforts of our bilateral and multilateral partners in support of the G-5 Sahel, including France, a friendly country whose long-standing, significant and exceptional efforts in favour of peace and stability in the region we have always appreciated. Nor can we forget the efforts of the European Union, the African Union, the United States of America and the alliance of Saudi Arabia, Denmark and Germany, which are also committed to actively supporting the G-5 Sahel Joint Force.”

“On behalf of my country, and particularly on behalf of the President of the Republic, I thank members for the very special interest that the United Nations has shown in the Group of Five for the Sahel (G-5 Sahel), comprised of Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, the Niger and Chad. There is no proof more eloquent of that interest - in addition to resolution 2359 (2017) - than the October visit conducted by Security Council members to the G-5 Sahel region, including Mali, Mauritania and Burkina Faso, to assess first hand the nature of the terrorist threat and the feasibility of the Priority Investment Programme in order to support both the operationalization of the Joint Force of the G-5 Sahel and development issues in that region, where the terrorist threat persists.”

“Mr. Ba (Mauritania) (spoke in French): On behalf of Mauritania, allow me in turn to offer our deep condolences to the families of the Blue Helmets killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo and to all those who defend the values of peacekeeping. This is also an opportune moment for my country to extend our thanks to the highest authorities of the United Nations for their compassion and solidarity following the death of a Mauritanian soldier deployed to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic. We also thank France for its expression of solidarity and compassion. It is with great pleasure that I address the Council today.”
