President Barak Obama of the United States of America has said that the terror attack in Bamako, Mali is a wake-up call on the nations of the world to rise up against the blood-letting group.
Obama, who expressed condolences to the families of 21 victims, including at least one American, who died when terrorists stormed a hotel in Bamako, stressed that the terrorist attack on a hotel in Mali only stiffened the international community’s resolve to fight the global scourge of terrorism.
He called Friday’s attack another awful reminder that the scourge of terrorism threatened so many nations.
“This barbarity only stiffens our resolve to meet this challenge and with allies and partners, the United States will be relentless against those who target our citizen.
“We will continue to root out terrorist networks and we will not allow these killers to have a safe haven.”
Obama called on nations around the world to unite in their determination to protect against extremism, stressing that it will involve pushing back on hateful ideologies that fuel terrorism and standing up for the universal values of tolerance and respect for human dignity. [myad]
