 African Union Demands Global Action  In Mali Crisis


The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, has issued an urgent appeal for coordinated international intervention as Mali’s security and humanitarian crisis reaches critical levels.


In a statement released Sunday Chairperson Youssouf condemned the escalating terrorist blockades that have cut off vital supplies to civilian populations, plunging communities deeper into desperation.


The AU leader expressed unwavering solidarity with the Malian government and people, particularly the families of victims, while reaffirming the Union’s commitment to peace and development across the Sahel.


Particular outrage was reserved for recent kidnappings, including the abduction of three Egyptian nationals.


Calling for a robust global response, the Chairperson urged enhanced intelligence sharing, sustained support for affected states, and unified action against terrorism and violent extremism – in line with the Communiqué of the AU Peace and Security Council’s 1304th ministerial meeting held on 30 September 2025.


The statement comes amid reports of intensifying jihadist activity in northern and central Mali, where armed groups have imposed sieges on multiple towns, triggering acute food shortages and mass displacement.
