The situation in Mali has become very difficult due to the oil blockade and this has badly affected the lives of ordinary people. The AU has expressed great concern and said that the world must act quickly. Without international support, things could get worse.

Terrorists have blocked essential goods and now the people are lacking basic necessities. This is a very painful situation and requires a strong response. If there is no action, the humanitarian crisis will worsen and many people will suffer.

Youssouf stressed that there must be international solidarity to fight terrorism. This is an opportunity to show solidarity and support the people of the Sahel. Without justice and peace, society collapses. We must stand together and fight for a better life.
