UN General Assembly
2021

I humbly believe that, in addressing such questions, we must have the courage and vision to scrutinize the instruments and mechanisms that I just mentioned. Above all, we should also reconsider the request for a more robust mandate and a change in the posture of MINUSMA, which the Government has regularly made to the Security Council. That will make it possible to adapt MINUSMA’s mandate and provide it with the means to carry out its mandate properly and respond to the aspirations of the Malian people, without which neither the Mission nor the other international and regional military partnerships on our soil will have any credibility in the eyes of my fellow citizens.
