FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said in a Sunday statement that the Islamic Republic “always supports territorial integrity, unity, peace, stability, and respect for the rights of people and democracy in Mali.”
Mehmanparast noted that any insecurity in Africa would harm the African people and will be abused by foreign powers.
He noted that the African people should resolve their internal differences “through negotiations and peaceful talks.”
Last week, renegade Malian soldiers, led by Captain Amadou Sanogo, stormed the presidential palace in the capital, Bamako, and deposed President Amadou Toumani Toure.
The rebellion ignited over criticism against the government’s handling of a Tuareg insurrection in northern Mali.
Many international organizations, including the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the European Union (EU), the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the United Nations and the United States condemned the coup despite Toure’s earlier announcement that he would step down after the upcoming elections in April.
The AU has suspended Mali from the organization until constitutional order is restored, and the EU has halted its development operations in the African country until the security situation becomes clear.
A joint delegation of the AU and the ECOWAS are in negotiations with the rebel soldiers in Mali to hand back power to the civilian government.
