A statement of the Malian Foreign Ministry said that Boukadoum stated upon his arrival in Bamako that “Algeria and Mali are two neighbouring and brother countries, and what affects Mali is affecting Algeria.”
Boukadoum arrived in Mali capital, Bamako, on Friday morning for a one-day visit, which falls within “the framework of historical relationships and Algeria’s absolute solidarity with the Malian people, and its adherence to security and stability in this country”, the foreign ministry statement added.
The visit of the Foreign Minister, Sabri Boukadoum, comes after more than a week of the military coup led by officers in the Malian army that overthrew President Ibrahim Boubacar Kaita and led to his arrest before he was released and transferred to his home in the capital, Bamako.
After the arrival of the West African delegation, led by the former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, to the Mali capital, the ruling military council in Mali proposed the formation of a transitional body headed by a military government that would run the country for 3 years.
General Asimi Guetta introduced himself as the leader of the Mali Salvation Council formed by the leaders of the military coup during a meeting with the Ministries’ General Secretaries.
Asimi Guetta designated himself “the president of the National Committee for the Salvation of the People” that overthrew President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, and asserted that Mali is experiencing a political, social and security crisis, and it is impermissible to “make mistakes”.
On August 19, Algeria announced its rejection of the military coup in Mali and demanded that all parties and forces in Mali return urgently to the constitutional tracks.
A statement by the Algerian Foreign Ministry on the current developments in Mali confirmed that Algeria “is following with great concern the situation prevailing in the brotherly and the neighbouring country Mali”.
Algeria reiterated its “categorical rejection of any unconstitutional change of government, following the relevant African Union charters, especially the Algeria Declaration of 1999 and the African Charter for Democracy, Elections and Governance of 2007. The African Union’s doctrine of respecting the constitutional order shall not be subject to any violation”.
Algeria called for a return to the constitutional path in the country, and called on “all parties to respect the constitutional order and return to the reason for a quick exit from the crisis, and reminds in this regard that the ballot box alone is the way to gain power and legitimacy.”
