1. “Recurring armed rebellions in the north of Mali have lead to the emergence of organized crime, putting the authority of the State to the test. The security situation in the subregion, exacerbated by the Libyan crisis, appears to hold little promise, as demonstrated by the recent terrorist attacks in the Niger, Burkina Faso and Nigeria. A short while ago, terrorist acts were concentrated in the north but have now spread to the centre and, more recently, towards the south of the country. We can count at least eight terrorist groups that are officially active, without mentioning the possibility of emerging cells in surrounding countries, which would also have an impact on Mali.”

2. “I would first like to express my gratitude for this opportunity to address the Security Council on various security aspects of the police of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). For reasons relating to the complexity and mulitdimensional nature of the crisis in Mali, the implementation process for the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation faces some serious challenges. Alliances between armed groups that are signatories to the agreement and/or non-signatory groups, as well as terrorist and criminal networks, are formed and disbanded at the will and in the interests of various players. That results in systematic attacks against MINUSMA and Malian and Operation Barkhane forces, which demonstrate the determination of those groups to hamper the implementation of the Agreement.”
