Stresses the importance of the early resolution of the crisis in Mali through efforts to ensure lasting peace and security in the Sahel. In this regard, Council reaffirms the need for an accelerated implementation of the Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in Mali, issuing from the Algiers process, as an inclusive and consensual framework likely to enable the Malian parties to find solutions to their disputes; 8. Stresses further the need for the search for a lasting solution to the Libyan crisis, which has lasted for too long, as an essential element in the response to the situation in the SaheloSaharan region; 9. Expresses its appreciation to the countries of the region, through ECOWAS, ECCAS, the partners, particularly the United Nations and the European Union, for the initiatives and strategies put in place to contribute to the preservation of peace, security and stability of the countries of the region in the face of the scourges of terrorism and transnational organised crime, which pose a serious threat to peace, security and stability in the Sahel. In this regard, Council commends the efforts of the AU Commission, through the deployment of the African-led Support Mission in Mali (AFISMA) in northern Mali, the establishment of MISAHEL, the launching of the Nouakchott Process, the establishment of the MNJTF in the Lake Chad Region, as well as support for the establishment of the G5-Sahel Joint Force, which bear testimony to the will and determination of Africa to take up the multifaceted challenges in the Sahel Region, within the framework of the APSA; 10. Reaffirms the need to further strengthen the coordination of the security effort within the framework of the APSA and to do everything to this end, so that the initiatives of the G5Sahel Joint Force and the MNJTF, while preserving the flexibility and adaptability that underpin their effectiveness, fit better into the Architecture, in conformity with the relevant PSC decisions, particularly the Communiqué of the 767th meeting of council, held on 27 April 2018.
