  1. “Finally, may I take this opportunity to express the sincere appreciation of ECOWAS to the United Nations, the African Union, the European Union and bilateral partners for the strong support extended to ECOWAS, in particular by making available their experts to participate in the critical final planning conference.”

  2. “The objective of those terrorist groups and transnational organized criminals is clear, namely, to create a safe haven and a coordinating centre in the north of Mali for continental terrorist networks, including Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, MUJAO, Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab. If that objective is realized, no country in Africa, or indeed outside the continent, will be safe. The longer the precarious situation persists, the greater the danger it poses to regional and international peace and security. The time to act is now. A Council mandate to deploy a stabilization force in Mali will constitute concrete and decisive action.”

  3. “With the eviction of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) from the north by the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO) and Ansar Dine, at the end of June 2012, the international community can today hardly characterize the happenings in the north as acts of rebellion or expression of self-determination. The removal of MNLA from the equation has replaced political demands with outright terrorism and criminality, which should be combated with all the means available. We are running out of time. Every day that we dither and postpone concrete action in Mali provides the terrorists and criminal networks yet another opportunity to consolidate, commit atrocious war crimes and worsen the plight of the populations in the north.”

  4. “The purpose of the ECOWAS stabilization force is to assist the Government of Mali to achieve the following objectives: ensure the security of the transition and its institutions; restructure and reorganize the security and defence forces of Mali; and restore the territorial integrity of the country by extending State authority to the north, combating terrorist and criminal networks and responding to the humanitarian consequences of the crisis. The security and humanitarian situation in the north of Mali is getting worse by the day.”

  5. “ECOWAS anticipates that the report and the outcome of the final planning conference will clear up all lingering issues with regard to the deployment intended by ECOWAS and secure the United Nations mandate requested by ECOWAS and the AU. As indicated in previous submissions to the Council, the ECOWAS strategy in Mali aims to intensify mediation efforts with all stakeholders while undertaking a phased deployment process.”

  6. “Following the technical assessment mission, detailed information about the planned deployment in a report entitled "ECOWAS strategic concept for the resolution of the crisis in the Republic of Mali", was submitted on 3 August to the Council through the Office of the Secretary-General.

The report of the technical assessment mission was presented to the ECOWAS Chiefs of Defence Staff at their meeting in Abidjan from 25 to 27 July. A final planning conference to further refine the strategic concept, with the participation of ECOWAS, the African Union, the United Nations, the European Union and other partners, is scheduled to be held from 9 to 13 August in Bamako to pave the way for the deployment as soon as the expected United Nations mandate is received.”

  8. “Traore urged the people of Mali to warmly welcome the assistance being proposed by ECOWAS, the African Union, the United Nations and neighbouring countries, and promised to send a formal request as soon as he forms the Government of national unity as requested by ECOWAS, which process is actively under way. In the efforts to ascertain the current security situation on the ground and to further assess the requirements for the eventual deployment of the Standby Force, the ECOWAS Commission dispatched a technical assessment mission to Mali from 6 to 19 July. The mission was also in fulfillment of the request of the Security Council for greater clarity on the anticipated deployment.”

  9. “Further, the transitional Government was tasked, within the same time frame, to come up with a road map with concrete tasks and timelines for resolving the crisis, organizing a free, fair and transparent presidential election, and securing the territory of Mali. The decisions met with the full approval of the vast majority of the Malian stakeholders, including the transitional Government, the National Assembly, political parties and civil society organizations. Since then, the Prime Minister has presented the Government's road map for the transition to both the Malian National Assembly and the ECOWAS mediator. In another positive development, ECOWAS facilitated the return from France of the interim President, Mr. Dioncounda Traore, on 27 July. In an address to the nation on 29 July, Mr.”

All the major socio-political groups in Mali attended the meeting, with the exception of the marginal parties supporting the military junta, who declined the invitation. The Regional Contact Group requested the stakeholders to make proposals to the interim President of Mali on the establishment of a Government of national unity by 31 July.”

  11. “It will be recalled that, in paragraph 18 of resolution 2056 (2012), adopted at the 6798th meeting on 5 July, the Council, among other decisions, "[e]xpresse[d] its readiness to further examine the request of ECOWAS [for the United Nations mandate] once additional information has been provided regarding the objectives, means and modalities of the envisaged deployment and other possible measures, [and] encourage[d] in this regard a close cooperation between Malian transitional authorities, the Commission of ECOWAS, the Commission of the African Union, and countries in the region". Since then, ECOWAS has intensified its efforts aimed at stabilizing the situation in Mali, in close cooperation with the African Union, the United Nations and other partners, in the spirit of the resolution.”

  13. “This is happening despite the solemn appeal of ECOWAS and the international community to the armed groups in the north to respect the sanctity of the holy month of Ramadan. The latest addition to the litany of crimes was the stoning to death of an alleged adulterous couple and the imposition of a dawn-to-dusk curfew on women in the occupied territory. Meanwhile, as tangible progress is being made in the transitional process, the marginal forces bent on obstructing the timely execution of the transition have lately increased their acts of incitement and obstruction. These disturbing developments, and the ominous threat that the double crisis in Mali poses to regional and international peace and security must focus the minds of the international community. The situation calls for urgent and decisive measures from us all.”

  14. “Ms. Hussaini-Suleiman: It is a great honour for me to appear once more before this body on behalf of the Commission of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to update the Council on the latest developments regarding the political and security situation in Mali, and the efforts being made by ECOWAS and its partners to control the situation. First of all, however, I would like to pay a glowing tribute to you, Sir, for your excellent handling of the proceedings and to thank France for sponsoring this interaction. I wish also to acknowledge all the excellent statement made by the Secretary-General on the situation. The reprehensible acts of vandalism, criminality and gross violations of human rights that have accompanied the rebellion in the north of Mali since 17 January are getting worse by the day.”
