The newly appointed President of Mali’s Transition government, Bah N’daw, has commended the mediator for Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan for the role he played in restoring normalcy in the country, following a political crisis in the country.

N’Daw during his inauguration on Friday said this in Bamako, despite the ECOWAS indication that it would only lift sanctions on Mali after a new Prime Minister had been sworn in to run the country’s government.

Speaking on Jonathan’s activities as mediator, the interim President thanked Jonathan for his deep involvement and encouragement in resolving the crisis in Mali.

He said: “My gratitude goes to ECOWAS for its constant concern for our country. I also thank ECOWAS mediator, former Nigerian President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan for the wise advice he has been giving to his Malian brothers and sisters since June this year. He is one of us now.

“I welcome his presence and I would like to assure him of the determination of the Malians to lead a stable, peaceful and successful transition, under the agreed conditions and deadlines.

“I assure him (Jonathan) and ECOWAS that I am ready to make any sacrifice that will bring peace to Mali and make my country recover from its challenges. I will organise election on schedule and will not go outside the letters of the Transition charter.”
