 Jeddah, ((INA) - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the terrorist attack on Thursday on UN peacekeepers in Mali in which five Burkinabe soldiers were killed and many other soldiers wounded.
The Secretary-General of the OIC, Iyad Madani, called on the armed groups in the conflict in northern Mali to immediately end the violence and keep the higher interest of Mali above all considerations.
Madani stressed the need for all parties to remain committed to the cease-fire of 23 May 2014, the declaration for cessation of hostilities of 24 July 2014.
The Secretary General reaffirmed that the success of the peace process rests on the implementation of the peace and reconciliation accord signed in Bamako on 20 June; and that it is the primary responsibility of all Malian parties to restore security, reduce tensions and provocations that could undermine the peace process.
OIC chief expressed the OIC's deep sympathy to Burkina Faso and Minusma for the tragic loss and prayed for the recovery of the injured soldiers of peace.
