The president stressed that Algeria adheres to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, affirming that his country “has not and will not interfere” in Mali, despite the deep historical ties between the two nations. He added that Algeria has always been a “brother” to Mali and will remain so regardless of the circumstances.
In a related context, Tebboune clarified that the use of force is not a solution to the Malian crisis, expressing his conviction that Malians are capable of overcoming their ordeal on their own. At the same time, he affirmed that Algeria is ready to provide assistance to help de-escalate the situation, if requested to do so, without any ulterior motives or conditions.
He also sent a direct message to those who still believe in the fraternal ties between the two countries, stating that Algeria “is present and ready to help.” He revealed that indirect contacts exist between the two sides, noting that the shared history and destiny of Algeria and Mali are inescapable. In concluding his remarks, he stated that while Mali’s current leader has not spoken ill of Algeria, his inner circle and those around him have attacked and insulted Algeria.
🚨Nous nous exprimons avec le cœur, car notre amour pour le #Mali 🇲🇱est sincère et profond.
