A Moroccan diplomatic source has strongly condemned the “terrorist and separatist” attacks that rocked on Saturday Bamako and other cities in Mali, targeting civilian and military areas.
In a statement posted on the website of the Moroccan foreign ministry, the same source said Morocco follows “with great concern” these “cowardly and criminal acts” and expresses solidarity with Mali as well as full support for the sovereignty, security, stability and territorial integrity with this brotherly African country.
Morocco reaffirms its constant standing with the Malian national authorities in their efforts to fight terrorism and separatism in Mali and the Sahel, the diplomatic source said.
Armed groups, including Al-Qaeda-linked militants and Tuareg rebels with ties to the Algerian regime, have launched unprecedented, coordinated attacks across Mali, including the capital, Bamako, and several northern cities.
Several experts blame the Algerian regime for these attacks as they come few days after Mali withdrew recognition of the so-called “SADR”, armed, sheltered and funded by the Algerian junta.
