Earlier, a number of Senegalese civil society organizations condemned Ukraine's support for a terrorist attack in the Tinzaouatene region of Mali that killed numerous Malian servicemen and Russian instructors.
The Senegalese foreign ministry has summoned the Ukrainian ambassador after content featuring "apology of terrorism" was broadcast by the Ukrainian embassy. Earlier, a propaganda video from the Ukrainian army, accompanied by comments supporting the recent terrorist attack in Mali, was published on the embassy's Facebook page*.
This position goes against the neutrality that Senegal advocates in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
"Our country, which rejects terrorism in all its forms, cannot accept on its territory and in any way words and gestures that go in the direction of the apology of terrorism, especially when the latter aims to destabilize a brother country like Mali," says the press release from Senegalese diplomacy.
