Mauritania FM: Mali Ignored Border Proposal
The Mauritanian Foreign Minister, Mohamed Salem Ould Merzoug, stated that his country has sought to establish a joint committee with Mali to monitor the border extending approximately 2,230 kilometers, aiming to reduce attacks targeting Mauritanian civilians. However, Mali has not responded so far. He explained that Mauritania has lost many lives along its border with Mali and emphasizes the importance of regional cooperation to enhance security, especially with neighboring countries such as Senegal, Morocco, and Algeria. He also noted that Mauritania is consulting to launch a new regional cooperation mechanism to address security and developmental challenges. The minister confirmed that combating terrorism requires collective efforts in the Sahel region, and that the stability of Mali benefits Mauritania. Additionally, he denied any connection between Mauritania and harboring elements of the Azawad Liberation Front, stressing that Mali’s stability serves the country's interests. Moreover, he mentioned that the president's visit to France strengthened partnerships in food security, energy, and education. He emphasized that Nouakchott refuses to serve as a hub for human traffickers and will not act as a border guard for Europe.
