President Mahamadou Issoufou said Niger is ready to help Mali retake areas seized by Islamists this spring. Issoufou and Malian president Dioncounda Traore called on the UN to endorse a planned military intervention in Mali, and urged Malian rebel movements to lay down their arms, sever ties with Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and recognize Malian boundaries.
