Mali’s internal situation continues to be very fragile. The
key international partners of this country need to coordinate better among
themselves and agree on a common strategy in support of the stabilization process
and the political transition. This is a
matter of great urgency.
It is also a matter of great concern to see that a country
that has played an important role in the history of West Africa and has also
been able to produce a large number of fine minds is today politically
fragmented. No leader has emerged. Without a clairvoyant leader as a counterpart
the external friends of Mali will not be able to succeed. It would be a mistake
to forget this evidence.
