OIC chief Iyad Madani

Jeddah (IINA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned Saturday's rocket attack on the UN peacekeepers' camp in Kidal, northern Mali, resulting in the death of two members of the Guinean contingent and a civilian, and injuring 14 others.
OIC Secretary General Iyad Madani, who denounced the assault on the peacekeepers, attributed this reprehensible act to the enemies of peace who have no place in the current dispensation when all hands are on deck to implement the Algiers Peace Agreement. He appealed to all Malians, especially the signatory parties to the peace accord, to step up their efforts toward this objective as a way of exposing those working to sabotage the peace process.
The Secretary General conveyed his condolences to Mali and Guinea as well as to the families of the victims. He reiterated the OIC's determination to continue to contribute to the return of durable peace and sustainable development to the regions of north Mali.
