U.N. Chief Vows Help for Poverty-Hit Sahel U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon vowed Tuesday to help the people of Africas poor and conflict-scarred Sahel as he began a regional tour in Mali overshadowed by the murder of two French journalists. Ban, World Bank chief Jim Yong Kim and top officials from the African Union, African Development Bank and European Union met Malis president and key government ministers at the start of a three-day trip that will also take in Niger, Burkina Faso and Chad. The international community stands with the people of the Sahel. We need an approach that breaks down institutional barriers and joins up political, security, development and humanitarian efforts throughout the region, Ban said. naharnet/stories/en/104539-u-n-chief-vows-help-for-poverty-hit-sahel
