  1. “It requires sustained attention from all the friends of Mali and involves a renewed commitment from the international community to combat terrorism and transborder crime. Finally, I would make an urgent appeal to the international community, especially the friends of Mali, which met in Brussels in May, for an urgent mobilization of pledges to boost economic development in Mali. My delegation welcomes the report under consideration today (S/2013/582).”

  2. “The renewed terrorist activities in recent weeks requires the deployment of the Malian army throughout the territory, with the support of the MINUSMA, which also needs to receive adequate resources to fulfil the mandate assigned to it under the relevant provisions of paragraphs 16 and 17 of resolution 2100 (2013), of 25 April. Before concluding, I wish to reiterate here the sincere thanks and deep gratitude of the people and the Government of Mali to our bilateral and multilateral partners for their continued engagement with our country, but also to remind them of the need to never let down our guard vis-a-vis terrorist and jihadist groups on the grounds that the Malian crisis is resolved and that we should turn the page and move to other areas of tension. I wish to state emphatically that the security situation remains very volatile.”

  3. “Those terrorist attacks clearly demonstrate that the fight against terrorism and organized crime in Mali is not over and that the security situation remains fragile throughout the Sahel region. Let me say a few words about the humanitarian situation in Mali, where much remains to be done to bring about the safe and sustainable return of internally displaced persons and refugees to their homes. In addition to the difficulties arising from the security crisis in the north, there has been a considerable deterioration in the food situation in the south of the country, where more than 800,000 people are facing untold difficulties.”

  4. “Although the deployment of Malian Defence and Security Forces and of MINUSMA and Operation Serval helped to significantly improve the security situation in the major cities of northern Mali, at some point we must recognize that the situation on the ground today is characterized by the return of armed groups, terrorists and jihadists who continue to pose a serious threat to the stability, the peace and security in the northern regions of the country and across the Sahel. As an illustration, the increasing number of terrorist attacks in northern Mali was the subject of a letter addressed to the members of the Security Council dated 2 October 2013 (S/2013/586), with which the Government of Mali sought to draw the Council's attention to the threat.”

  5. “With determination and wisdom, we will rebuild a new social contract in order to recreate the conditions of living together as Malians aong all Malians. In his speech on 27 September 2013, at the general debate of the sixty-eighth session of the General Assembly (see A/68/PV.15), President Boubacar Keita showed his unshakeable determination to complete the electoral process by organizing the first round of legislative elections on 24 November and the second round on 15 December. Mali has embarked on the path of building the rule of law, while resolutely fighting against corruption and impunity. The nation is primarily a space of solidarity founded uponjustice and equity.”

  6. “At the same time, the Government is preparing a plan for the accelerated development of the northern regions, the first version of which was approved on Monday, 14 October, during a ratification workshop held with the Government and our technical and financial partners. The recommendations of the decentralization forum and the content of plan for accelerated development of the northern regions appear on the agenda of the national conference on the north, which will bring together all the social components of our nation so that together we can forge a definitive and lasting solution to the crisis that has shaken the country. The aim of our Government is to reconcile Malians among themselves and with themselves, because a nation cannot move forward if it is not united and in agreement about a common vision for its future.”

  7. “The Commission will visit refugee camps and displaced populations in order to be informed of all issues concerning their reintegration into their places of origin, and will make recommendations to the Government on how to ensure that from now on justice will prevail and an end be made to the culture of impunity in our country. From 21 to 23 October, in the framework of preparations for the national conference on the North, which will be held by the end of this month, the Government will conduct a forum on decentralization, aimed at creating institutional mechanisms enabling the strengthening of the powers of the decentralized collectives so that they can better respond to the basic aspirations of the people.”

  8. “On 15 and 16 September in Timbuktu, Gao, Kidal and throughout the national territory, we also held sensitization forums, as provided in the preliminary agreement signed in Ouagadougou. Various intra-community forums are currently being held in several regions of the country. The new National Commission for Dialogue, Truth and Reconciliation will shortly be organizing inter-community forums while conducting thorough investigations into violations of human rights and the consequences of the occupation of three regions in the North.”

  9. “Without going into detail, I will mention the following actions: the meeting of armed groups held in Bamako from 15 to 17 September; the audience granted by the President to the armed groups in Koulouba on 17 September, during which the Head of State established the framework for future discussions, specifying that apart from the issues of autonomy and independence, everything was negotiable within the framework of a united and pluralist Mali; and the implementation of confidence-building measures, beginning with the freeing of several detainees on 18 September and 3 October. I should also emphasize that we have ordered that the political mandate of various persons who were members of the National Assembly be lifted as soon as possible.”

  10. “Since beginning work on 8 September, the Government, led by Prime Minister Oumar Tatam Ly under the authority of President Keita, has thrown itself into solving the problems of the North. While pursuing an intensive dialogue with all the parties involved in the crisis, it has implemented a series of efforts aimed at preparing for the negotiations stipulated in the preliminary agreement of 18 June within a 60-day time frame.”

  11. “On 1 July, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) became operational, absorbing the African-led International Support Mission in Mali. On 29 July and 12 August, with the support of its outside partners, Mali held the most transparent presidential election since its democratic process began in 1992. The election reflected an exceptionally high participation rate that testified to our people's willingness to take charge of their own destiny and to emerge from the swamp of the multidimensional crisis that the country has been wallowing in since January 2012. By an uncontested landslide vote of 77.6 per cent, the Malian people entrusted Ibrahim Boubacar Keita with the task of guiding our country's future.”

  12. “Mr. Diarrah (Mali) (spoke in French): I would first like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on Azerbaidjan's presidency of the Security Council for the month of October, and to welcome your initiative in holding this important meeting on the situation in Mali. My Government is also very grateful for Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon for the commendable efforts he has continued to make to resolve the Malian crisis. Since the Council's 25 June briefing on the Secretary-General's report (S/2013/338), much has happened in my country. On 18 June in Ouagadougou, the transitional authorities and armed groups signed a preliminary agreement on the presidential election and inclusive peace talks in Mali.”
