Africa-Press – Mali. <\/strong><\/span>We never boycott artists,\u00a0\u00bb French Culture Minister Rima Abdul Malak told RTL on Friday, as professionals denounced a government directive on Thursday calling for the suspension of all collaboration with artists from Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0We do not currently have a visa service in operation in these countries for security reasons\u00a0\u00bb, she explained, denouncing \u00ab\u00a0confusion\u00a0\u00bb and explaining that it was \u00ab\u00a0materially\u00a0\u00bb impossible to \u00ab\u00a0issue visas to come to France\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0There is no question of stopping discussions with artists\u00a0\u00bb, she insisted, adding that all those \u00ab\u00a0who already have visas and who have tours or shows planned (…) will be able to come as planned\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0We never boycott artists anywhere\u00a0\u00bb, she stressed, adding that \u00ab\u00a0there is no boycott, no reprisals\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

In a press release published on Thursday, the Syndeac (Syndicat national des entreprises artistiques et culturelles) and its counterparts the Aac, Accn, A-CDCN, ACDN and ASN reacted strongly to the message they claim to have received on Wednesday \u00ab\u00a0from the DRACs\u00a0\u00bb, the regional directorates for culture, and \u00ab\u00a0drafted on the instructions of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

This message, which is scathing in tone, asks our members to \u00ab\u00a0suspend all cooperation with the following countries until further notice: Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso\u00a0\u00bb: Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso\u00a0\u00bb, the unions wrote in their press release.<\/p>\n

For the Minister of Culture, \u00ab\u00a0France has always been ready to welcome artists in danger\u00a0\u00bb. \u00ab\u00a0We will continue to do so\u00a0\u00bb, she also said.\u00a0\u00bbThis is an adaptation to an extremely deteriorated security situation, which is particularly targeting French buildings and French teams in these three countries\u00a0\u00bb, she added.<\/p>\n

On 29 July and 6 August, France suspended all its development aid and budget support operations with Niger and Burkina Faso. It had already done so for Mali in November 2022.<\/p>\n
