The UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) had objectives that did not correspond to the interests of the Malian people, the president of the Bloc for the Recovery and Development of Mali (BRDM), Oumar Mc Kone told Sputnik Africa.The UN mission was present in Mali since 2013, which was wound up on November 15, "was not up to the task" and "completely failed," he said.The BRDM president also spoke of the international community's lack of reaction to Kiev's support for terrorism in the Sahel. He denounced the double standards of the West, which promotes the fight against terrorism but, on the other hand, supports those who support terrorism.Mali has shown that no one else can come in and guarantee its security, an expert added. The withdrawal of the UN mission could pave the way for a new political and security dynamic in the Sahel, the BRDM president said.However, the Malian army has succeeded in an extraordinary way: "it has achieved in two years what foreign organizations, including MINUSMA, have not been able to achieve in 12–13 years," Kone emphasized.

MINUSMA once interfered with the Malian army to prevent it from retaking territories occupied by terrorists, jihadists and their nebulous groups, which was incomprehensible to the Malian people, the expert noted.
The UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) had objectives that did not correspond to the interests of the Malian people, the president of the Bloc for the Recovery and Development of Mali (BRDM), Oumar Mc Kone told Sputnik Africa.
The UN mission was present in Mali since 2013, which was wound up on November 15, "was not up to the task" and "completely failed," he said.
The BRDM president also spoke of the international community's lack of reaction to
Kiev's support for terrorism in the Sahel. He denounced the double standards of the West, which promotes the fight against terrorism but, on the other hand, supports those who support terrorism.
Mali has shown that no one else can come in and guarantee its security, an expert added.
The withdrawal of the UN mission could pave the way for a new political and security dynamic in the Sahel, the BRDM president said.
"No country in the world will be able to come and defend Mali instead of Mali," the speaker noted.
However, the Malian army has succeeded in an extraordinary way: "it has achieved in two years what foreign organizations,
including MINUSMA, have not been able to achieve in 12–13 years," Kone emphasized.
"Gradually, Mali is pinning its hopes on itself, before anyone else, in order to achieve peace and stability, and this is a prerequisite for attracting investors to the country in the future, because they will find it safe, stable and secure," he concluded.
