We unequivocally condemn yesterday’s attack on a restaurant in Bamako, the capital of the Republic of Mali, which left five people dead: two Malians, two Belgians and one French citizen. This abhorrent and barbaric attack will not, however, weaken the resolve of the countries of Europe to do everything possible to fight terrorism of any kind, anywhere on the planet.
We express our condolences to the families of the victims and our undivided support for the peoples of Mali, France and Belgium.
