Security cannot be delegated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The diplomatic efforts of the union have achieved undeniable successes, as evidenced by the increasing presence and recognition of the union on the international stage as a major geopolitical entity.<\/p>\n<p>Bakari Yaou Sangare continued, saying, &#8220;In the context of coordinating development efforts, the union countries have committed firmly to the policy alignment process aimed at bringing about a structural transformation in the economies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the foreign minister of Mali, Abdoulaye Diop, emphasized that &#8220;it is no longer necessary to remind everyone of the unprecedented media coverage received by terrorist alliances and their foreign supporters in the context of the information war, where misinformation and manipulation have replaced objectivity, and where the ethics and standards of some media outlets have unfortunately declined in the face of the public glorification of terrorism. Despite all these challenges, the union countries remain steadfast in their position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Africa<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press.
