On Sunday, the Republic of Mali celebrated the 64th anniversary of its independence. A military parade was held in the capital to mark the occasion.
Malian President Assimi Goita has reaffirmed his intention to step up the fight against terrorism in order to guarantee peace, security, and development in his country. The statement followed last Tuesday's
terrorist attack in Mali's capital.
Goita emphasized that the fight against terrorism will be carried out by the joint army of the Alliance of Sahel States confederation, which as of now includes three African countries: Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso.
"We will put all our resources at the disposal of three countries to pursue these lawless armed groups, day and night," he said to the press after the military parade.
Goita acknowledged the Malian people's unwavering support for the military in its efforts to protect the nation, despite the difficult circumstances it faces. He stressed the importance of a united front and urged everyone to rally behind the defense and security forces. He emphasized that victory in this struggle requires the sustained commitment of both citizens
and international partners.Referring to the attacks on the Faladié gendarmerie school and the Bamako airport, the colonel said that the aim was to "undermine the morale of the troops and break the spirit of solidarity between the people and their army."
"We will fight this scourge with the utmost determination so that our countries can live in peace and harmony," the nation's leader added.
Due to a recent terrorist attack on a gendarmerie school in the Malian capital of
Bamako, Sunday's parade was held in a tense atmosphere, with the armed forces and security services on high alert, local media reported. Nevertheless, the parade demonstrated the army's modernization efforts and its ability to meet future challenges.
