lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am taking the floor on the subject of Africa in order to draw to your attention to the fact that it was too late to table an urgent resolution. I should therefore like to draw the MEPs’ attention to the situation in the north of Mali and the north of Niger, which is developing to the detriment of the Tuareg populations. Indeed, we can still prevent a major conflict and a war in this region where, today, the situation is deteriorating terribly, in spite of the Algiers agreements and the forum that took place in March in Kidal. The Tuaregs laid down their weapons on 9 March and, today, the Malian army is occupying the water points and certain villages while fresh troops are arriving from the south. Madam President, I believe that we need to intervene before a war breaks out in this part of Africa, at a time when the Algerian mediator is absent. Therefore, I would ask that you put an urgent request to the Commission and to the Presidency of the Council with the aim of having a troika speak to the Malian authorities so that they agree to return to the negotiating table with the Tuareg parties for the purposes of discussing the implementation of the Algiers agreements again. As far as Niger is concerned, the situation of the Tuaregs is no better because they are being exploited by companies engaged in uranium extraction, an activity from which the Tuaregs derive no benefit whatsoever."@en1
