Mali president says stability at stake after deadly army base attack
Mali’s President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita has appealed for citizens to unite behind the country’s army, after the latest deadly militant strike killed more than 40 soldiers.
The president has declared three days of mourning after Friday’s attack on an army base in Indelimane, the northeast of the country near the border with Niger.
“In these particularly serious circumstances where the stability and existence of our country are at stake, our only response must be national unity, the sacred union around our national army,” he said in a statement Monday night.
