Ebola: Guinea lauds before UNSC Morocco's solidarity and brotherhood

New York (UN) - Guinean Minister of State for foreign affairs Lounceny Fall lauded, on Thursday before the UNSC, Morocco's solidarity and brotherhood towards his country which was affected by the Ebola epidemic.

 

"We should thank once again countries like Morocco and Mali which embraced from the beginning the principle of solidarity, brotherhood and friendship," said the Guinean Minister of State, on the sidelines of the unanimous adoption by the UNSC member states of a resolution co-sponsored by a record number of 134 member states to fight the Ebola epidemic which has stricken Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

 

The resolution, which describes the epidemic as a threat to international peace and security, calls upon the member states to lift all restrictions on free movement imposed on frontiers due the epidemic and which will lead to further isolating these countries and undermining their efforts to address the problem.

 

The Guinean official argued that security and prevention measures taken by his country are the reason why some carriers like Moroccan RAM maintained their flights.
