UAE condemns terrorist attack on mosque in Niger, calls for global action

 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack on a mosque in a village located in southwestern Niger, which resulted in the tragic death of dozens of innocent people and the injury of many others. The act of violence has sparked global outrage, further highlighting the persistent threat of terrorism in sensitive regions.

In an official statement, the UAE reaffirmed its firm stance against terrorism and violent extremism in all its forms. The Government expressed its deepest condolences to the families of the victims, the people of Niger and its leadership. It also wished a speedy recovery to those injured in the attack.

The need for international cooperation

This latest attack underlines the urgent need for global cooperation in combating terrorism. The UAE has consistently advocated for strong international measures to address the root causes of extremism, including poverty, lack of education and political instability. The country has been actively involved in counter-terrorism initiatives, supporting regional and global efforts to promote peace and security.

As part of its comprehensive strategy, the UAE continues to work closely with international organisations, including the United Nations, to enhance counter-terrorism measures. It has also provided humanitarian aid and development assistance to conflict-affected regions of Africa, emphasising the importance of stability and prosperity as key deterrents to terrorism.

Call for justice

The mosque attack is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by innocent civilians in areas targeted by extremist groups. The international community must take decisive action to ensure that such acts of violence do not go unpunished. Sharing intelligence, enhancing border security and addressing the socio-economic factors that fuel extremism are essential steps towards a more secure world.

The UAE is committed to supporting Niger and other countries affected by terrorism. By standing together against such acts of brutality, the global community can work towards a future where peace triumphs over violence and extremism.

The UAE's condemnation of the attack in Niger reflects its unwavering commitment to global peace and security. The incident serves as a call for action for countries around the world to unite in the fight against terrorism. Through cooperation, vigilance, and proactive measures, the world can strive to prevent such tragic events from occurring in the future.
