"When NATO took military action against Libya, we warned that it would have extremely serious consequences for its people, as is apparent today: the situation there is marked by social regression, instability and conflict. However, we also warned that the consequences could potentially affect the whole of North Africa. Weapons and military equipment arrived in northern Mali following the military intervention of France, Great Britain, the United States and NATO in Libya, further igniting the tense internal situation. This
is compounded by other highly unstable situations in the Sahel region and West Africa, which are rich in natural resources, particularly energy, and are therefore coveted by many. It is important to seek a peaceful, political, negotiated solution to this conflict that respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Mali. This resolution leaves the door open for possible European military intervention, under the European Security and Defence Policy. If this materialises, it will only heighten instability and the risk of further conflict, as previous interventions of this type have demonstrated, particularly in Africa."@en1
