United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres made a strong appeal to financial partners to support the Sahel G5 force in Africa to enable the total eradication and defeat of Jihadists perpetrating violence. He made the appeal on his visit to Mopti, where he visited the G5 Sahel Force Base in Sevare.
Guterres said that UN mission (MINUSMA) has achieved its objectives but still need support to ensure that it can adequately deal with the security threats in the region.
Guterres said that the United Nations has proposed secure funding options that would allow the Force to better plan its operations. The G5 Force was set up by Burkina-Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger to strengthen the fight against insecurity in the Sahel region.
