Secretary-General Stresses Need for Sustained, Predictable Funding of Joint Force, in Message to G5 Sahel Summit
Format
Following is the text of UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ video message for the G5 Sahel Summit today:
Mr. President, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for your invitation and for your close cooperation for peace and development in the Sahel.
Despite recent promising developments, including the peaceful holding of elections, I remain concerned about the deteriorating security situation in the region, in particular in Liptako-Gourma, where the spiral of violence is aggravating an already difficult humanitarian situation.
And once again, it is the civilian population that is paying the price. There are more than 2 million displaced persons. Millions of others are facing acute food insecurity. And this is all in the context of a major climate crisis.
