"The situation in Mali is volatile following the military coup that overthrew the government and was condemned by the Organisation of African Unity. The economic and social crisis and poverty that the country was going through has worsened as a result of this military action. An estimated 250 000 people have been displaced and 140 000 have fled Mali. The humanitarian situation is very complicated and the intervention of non-governmental organisations to provide food and medical aid is urgently required. Having been perceived since it was founded as a staunch defender of human rights as defined by the United Nations, the European Union has adopted a strong leadership role in this process and secured an agreement for a return to order – which is no mean feat – by supporting the appointment of an interim government until elections are held. I voted for this joint motion for a resolution as violence is violence everywhere and we cannot allow human rights to be ignored. I therefore urge the EU to pursue its foreign policy to support the establishment of democratic regimes and call for further humanitarian aid to minimise the Malian people’s suffering."@en1
