Maayimuna ‘Muna’ N’Diaye was abducted on Dec. 27, 2011,by her father, Ibrahim N’Diaye. She was taken to impoverished and war-torn Bamako, Mali, West Africa. Muna is a U.S. citizen. Father and daughter are listed in INTERPOL and a Class D felony arrest warrant exists for N’Diaye. Muna's mother, Dr. Noelle Hunter, has an active case with the U.S. Department of State, Office of Children’s Issues.
We call upon President Obama to:
Direct U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to employ diplomatic means to secure Muna’s return.
Direct U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to initiate criminal charges against Ibrahim N’Diaye under the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act.
Make the Administration’s FY13 foreign aid to Mali conditional on that country’s cooperation in Muna’s return.
