His Excellency Prof. Mahmud Erol KILIC, the Secretary General of the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States (PUIC) condemns, in the strongest terms, the terrorist and treacherous attack which targeted the Radisson Hotel in Bamako, capital of the sisterly Republic of Mali which resulted in the death and injury of scores of people from different nationalities.

The adoption of such cowardly and denounced actions by terrorist and extremist groups constitutes a blatant challenge to human values and an objectionable bragging of murdering innocent people and terrorizing safely living citizens. This is an alarm bell that terrorism is fastly becoming a global threat and a living reality that quickly moves from one country to another without exception.
This state of affairs necessitates the coalescing of international efforts, now more than ever before, so as to defeat and eliminate it.
While expressing his utmost sorrow, sadness, and consolation to the families of the victims and the injured, His Excellency confirms the support and solidarity of the PUIC with the government and people of the sisterly Republic of Mali in the present circumstances.
He prays to Almighty God to protect the Republic of Mali from all evil.
