"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, after so much good news from Africa, what a lot of nasty surprises in Mali, a country which has even practised democracy successfully in recent years: we have had hostage taking, threats of secession from the North, the
fundamentalist gangs applying Sharia law, and the risk of famine; five problems, each of which is a human tragedy that is hard to resolve and, apart from anything else, these five problems are capable of contaminating the entire region.
Mali is a collateral victim, partly of the conflict that took place in Libya, and finds itself caught up in an issue that is bigger than itself, bigger than the Malian political class. The real reasons have their origins outside its borders as well as in issues related to the conflict in Libya and, as has been said, even further afield.
When, in our resolution, we call for a post-Gaddafi strategy for the entire region, we want political and security cooperation to be much more thorough, to go beyond contacts, and, in conjunction with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union and the United Nations in their respective roles, both food security and political security can be guaranteed, knowing that the later you intervene, the harder it is to find a solution."@en1
