Colonel Abdoulaye Maïga attacked Algeria. A few weeks ago, the Algerian representative to the UN denounced the drone strikes having killed civilians in the border town of Tinzaouatène. Strikes carried out just after the severe defeat of the Malian soldiers and Russian mercenaries against the Tuareg rebels in this same region.
The Malian representative accused Algerian diplomats of harboring terrorists.
“ We see serious interference in the internal affairs of Mali. Since the end of the Algiers Agreement on January 25, 2024, Mali has expressed only one wish concerning itself, that its soul rest in peace. Mr. Foreign Minister, the agreement is dead. Your incantations will not be used to resurrect him. For every bullet fired against us, we will react with reciprocity, for every wrong employer word, we will react with reciprocity. As for the permanent Algerian representatives, in addition to offering room and board, certainly with succulent dishes of tchaktchouka and chorba », Launched Colonel Abdoulaye Maïga, spokesperson for the Malian government.
His role as a disoriented courier does little to promote good neighborly relations. From these comments, serious and unfounded accusations emerge, on the one hand, the qualification of the civil nature of the victims is adventurous and defamatory, and on the other hand, by affirming that the drone operators have no accountability in person, they fuel a disinformation campaign against Mali, while supporting the idea that the valiant Malian defense and security forces are incapable of piloting drones.
Abdoulaye Maïga denounces “serious and unfounded accusations”
“ Today, terrorist groups have been seriously weakened, defense and security forces are deployed throughout the national territory. In addition, offensive actions by our forces continue to dismantle residual terrorist networks », Also declared the Malian minister at the UN podium.
The government of Mali remains aware that the purely security response has its limits. This is why we support military action. The government of Mali has adopted a global and integrated strategy aimed at restoring state authority throughout the national territory. It includes political, administrative, economic and social development measures, including dialogue with armed groups and the provision of basic social services to our brave populations.
