Amid tension in the Sahara, the German government called on the two parties, Monday, to exercise restraint and return to the United Nations when managing the conflict.
«The violent clashes last weekend were the most dangerous incident since the signing of the ceasefire agreement in 1991», indicates a press release from the German Foreign Ministry, relayed by Deutsch Welle (DW). Moreover, Berlin urged the parties involved in the conflict to return to the negotiating table.
The German Foreign Ministry also called for the resumption of the political process under the auspices of the United Nations, indicating that the federal government would call for the appointment of a new UN envoy to the region following the resignation of Horst Kohler.
Berlin said the efforts made by the former German president during his mandate proved that «positive progress can be made» on this issue.
