3. SOUNDBITE (French) Abdoulaye Maiga, Acting Prime Minister, Republic of Mali:
“Almost ten years after its establishment, the objectives for which MINUSMA was deployed in Mali have not been achieved. And this, despite the numerous resolutions of the Security Council. That is why the Government of Mali reiterates its request, many times expressed, for a paradigm shift, an adaptation of MINUSMA to the environment in which it is deployed, and better coordination with the Malian authorities. From this perspective, it is extremely important that MINUSMA keeps supporting Mali’s quest for stability.”
