Bamako, le 29 octobre 2018 - Nous, coordination des ONG Internationales opérant à Ménaka, constatons avec regret la persistance de l’insécurité dans la ville de Ménaka, qui affecte autant les populations que les agents des ONG. Depuis le début de l’année 2018, pas moins de 28 incidents ont affecté le personnel d’ONG pour la région de Ménaka, ce qui en fait actuellement l’une des régions les plus dangereuses du Mali pour les ONG.

International NGOs working in Menaka seek to prevent further destabilization and improve the safety and security of the population and humanitarian workers

Bamako, Mali – We, the international NGOs working in Menaka, would like to bring attention to the persistence of insecurity in the city of Menaka, which impacts both the area’s population as well as NGO staff. Since the beginning of 2018, at least 28 incidents have targeted NGO staff in the Menaka region, making it one of the most dangerous areas for us to work in Mali.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

One year passed since the beginning of the exodus of an estimated 706,000 Rohingya refugees from Rakhine State, Myanmar to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh following what the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called a “textbook example” of ethnic cleansing. The newly arrived Rohingya in Cox’s Bazar have joined hundreds of thousands who were part of previous waves of displacement from Myanmar.
