The representatives of the International Community based in Bamako reaffirm their support for Mali and commitment to the Malian authorities and people for a calm and respectful post-election process.

We remind the two candidates of their commitments to peaceful campaigns before and after the electoral process.  

We strongly encourage the candidates and their supporters to use legal and constitutional channels to settle disputes. 

The International Community stands with Malians across the political spectrum who are working together to advance democracy, build prosperity, and strengthen governance and security in their great country. 

We will continue to work with the elected government of Mali for a lasting peace and true security throughout the country.
