The Economic Community of West African States on Monday also hit the junta
with harsh penalties, including closing Mali’s borders to trade.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland earlier Tuesday said that the
United States was “deeply concerned” about Mali and urged the rebels to lay
down their arms.
“The United States urgently calls on all armed rebels in the north of Mali to
cease military operations that compromise the Republic of Mali’s territorial
integrity,” Ms Nuland said.
She said that while the rebels had “legitimate political grievances,” they
should wait until the return of a civilian government and seek to settle
differences through dialogue instead of violence.
“As civilian leadership is restored in Mali, we also urge all armed rebels to
engage in dialogue with the civilian leaders in Bamako to find a non-violent
path forward for national elections and peaceful coexistence,” Nuland said.
Disgruntled troops swarmed the capital Bamako on March 22 and chased out of
power President Amadou Toumani Toure, accusing him of failing to offer
sufficient supplies to the army to put down the long-running Tuareg
rebellion.
Tuareg rebels have raced across the country’s north. Radical Islamists over
the weekend seized control of the fabled trading hub of Timbuktu and said
they were imposing sharia law.
