The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, in a press release issued this Monday, expressed its deep concern over the recent violent attacks against members of the Malian Defence and Security Forces in Tinzawattine, northern Mali, in May 2024.

These attacks caused heavy losses to the Malian army.
ECOWAS strongly condemns these acts of violence and expresses its sincere condolences to the Government of Mali, the Malian people and the families of the victims. The regional organization reiterates its support to the Malian authorities during these difficult times.

The Committee also condemned any foreign interference that could threaten peace and security in West Africa and any attempt to plunge the region into geopolitical conflict.

ECOWAS reaffirms its unwavering commitment to supporting any initiative aimed at promoting peace, security and stability in the subregion. It remains willing to work with member States and international partners to enhance resilience in the face of security threats and promote a climate of tranquility in West Africa.
