These are the Ministers in charge<br \/>\nof Defense, Justice, Foreign Affairs, National Security and Finance.<\/p>\n<p>The Malian President was equally mandated to ensure the stepping down of<br \/>\nthe 31 parliamentarians who emerged from the disputed polls, while a<br \/>\nby-election will be held as speedily as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Also agreed was that steps should be taken to reconstitute the<br \/>\nConstitutional Court in the country as soon as possible, while a<br \/>\ncommission of enquiry would determine and identify those responsible for<br \/>\nthe violence that led to deaths and casualties as well as public<br \/>\nproperties destroyed on July 10-12, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Equally resolved was that the government would step up efforts to secure<br \/>\nthe release of opposition figure, Soumaila Cisse, kidnapped since March,<br \/>\namong others.<\/p>\n<p>The ECOWAS Commission is to put in place a Monitoring Committee for the<br \/>\nimplementation of all the above measures.<\/p>\n<p>The Declaration, to be communicated to relevant organs of African Union<br \/>\n(AU) and United Nations (UN), also agreed to support President Keita in<br \/>\nrestoring peace and order to Mali, stressing that no anti-constitutional<br \/>\nchange of government would be accepted anywhere in West Africa.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, President Buhari urged Malian political leaders to<br \/>\nconsider the fragile peace in the country and the likely spiralling<br \/>\neffect on the sub-region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wish to place on record, my commendations for the various layers of<br \/>\nefforts, and especially, of former President Goodluck Jonathan, whose<br \/>\npainstaking engagements as Special Envoy and Mediator, provided clear<br \/>\nroad-map to contain the crisis in Mali.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I appeal therefore, to all the Malian stakeholders to consider the<br \/>\nproposals for the reform of the Constitutional Court and the established<br \/>\nmodalities for resolving the continuous 31 seats issue at the National<br \/>\nAssembly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Equally significant, is the need to address governance challenges,<br \/>\nwhose manifestations are at the core of restiveness across the country.<br \/>\nIn order to address these matters holistically, it is important that all<br \/>\nMalians embrace the call for a Government of National Unity where<br \/>\ninclusivity of participation in the affairs of governing their country<br \/>\nwill be a responsibility of each and every Malian actor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wish to reiterate the imperative of compromise and concessions for a<br \/>\npeaceful resolution of the current crisis which would be acceptable to<br \/>\nall parties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The President commended the Chair of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of<br \/>\nState &amp; Government, for convening the Extraordinary Session to discuss<br \/>\nthe socio-economic, political and security developments in Mali,<br \/>\nespecially, following the outcome of the Parliamentary elections in the<br \/>\ncountry, last March, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Excellencies, dear colleagues and brothers, may I recall that last<br \/>\nMarch, Parliamentary elections took place in Mali. Regrettably, results<br \/>\nof 31 seats arising from those elections, provoked the spate of unrest<br \/>\nand protests that became violent with tragic consequences in July 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are still living and contending with the negative fallout from those<br \/>\nincidents. Our organisation, the ECOWAS, using its instrumentality of<br \/>\npeaceful resolutions of crisis and in the context of our Protocol on<br \/>\nDemocracy and Good Governance, embarked upon a series of efforts to<br \/>\naddress this crisis, at the levels of Ministerial Committee, Special<br \/>\nEnvoy &amp; Mediator and to a select-group of Heads of State and Government<br \/>\nand now, the Authority of Heads of State and Government, at this<br \/>\nExtraordinary Session, today.<\/p>\n<p>President Buhari thanked Development Partners, the EU, France, AU and<br \/>\nthe UN, urging them to continue to support efforts for national-regional<br \/>\nsecurity and stability of West Africa.<\/p>\n<p>All ECOWAS leaders at the summit appreciated former Nigerian President,<br \/>\nGoodluck Jonathan, who had been appointed Special Envoy and Mediator in<br \/>\nthe crisis.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government Monday adopted a Declaration towards settling the political crisis in the Republic of Mali.
