“The Secretary-General condemns this act and calls on the Malian authorities to swiftly investigate it and bring the perpetrators to justice,” he continued.
The Secretary-General expresses his condolences to the families of the victims, the people and the Government of Mali, and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.
