A group of 13 Nongovernmental Organisations are calling on the international community to protect the people of Mali, following the announcement of new sanctions against the country in response to the interim authorities’ decision to shift the elections promised for next month.
The 13 organisations are calling for urgent humanitarian exemptions to the sanctions and any related administrative processes must be urgently clarified, in order to protect the humanitarian response in Mali.
