Jeddah, (IINA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has expressed its deep concern over the degeneration of the security situation in northern Mali and condemned vigorously the aggravation of tension and the escalation of violence between the main signatory groups of the Accord for Peace and Reconciliation in Mali.
Iyad Madani, Secretary General of the OIC, stated that hostilities among the armed groups are a flagrant violation of the Accord signed under the aegis of Algeria and the international community.
He called upon all parties to abide by renunciation of violence and to accentuate the values of peace and the spirit of fraternal reconciliation among Malians.
Madani added that, as a member of the mediation team, the OIC reaffirmed its attachment to the implementation of the Accord and its readiness to back up every regional and international effort that could contribute to peace and stability in Mali.
