"Niger has played an important role in the political process that has led to elections and a return to a democratic government in Mali."

"The U.S. Government continues to support the process led by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon."

"The political will is there. It is a democratic government that is trying to satisfy the needs of its own population."

"It will require our full, unequivocal, unwavering commitment to fully protect our embassies and those who serve this Nation abroad."
