UN PEACEKEEPING MISSION IN MALI NOTES FORMATION OF NEW GOVERNMENTNew
York, Sep 6 2013 2:00PMMali's new leadership is forming a new
Government today, a process started with the swearing in of the new
President, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, an event noted by the United
Nations peacekeeping mission in the country.

Mr. Keita took the oath of office on Wednesday, with an inauguration
celebration scheduled to take place in the capital, Bamako, on 19
September.

The Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in Mali
(MINUSMA) noted the swearing-in as a major political milestone in
Mali.

Shortly after his election, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
congratulated Mr. Keita, as well as the people of Mali, and
acknowledged the concession of the second place candidate Soumaïla
Cissé, saluting his commitment to democratic principles.

The elections were seen as an important step on the path to recovery
for Mali. Since early 2012, the country has witnessed a military coup
d'état, renewed fighting between Government forces and Tuareg rebels,
and the seizure of its northern territory by radical Islamists.

In April, the Security Council approved a 12,600-strong MINUSMA,
authorizing the blue helmets "to use all necessary means" to carry out
security-related stabilization tasks, protect civilians, UN staff and
cultural artefacts and create the conditions for provision of
humanitarian aid.

MINUSMA's core task is to support the political process in Mali, in
close coordination with the African Union (AU) and the Economic
Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

In accordance with this mandate, MINUSMA provided technical and
logistical assistance for the 11 August run-off election, as well as
for the first round of voting held on 28 July, in addition to support
to the Malian security authorities.

Mr. Ban has reiterated the UN's commitment to accompanying Mali in its
stabilization and peace consolidation process, including through
support for the yet-to-be-scheduled national legislative elections.

Mr. Keita's Government has chosen Oumar Tatam Ly as the Prime
Minister, taking over from interim premier Diango Cissoko. The
Government is now reportedly working on the process of selecting
ministers.Sep 6 2013 2:00PM
