Mali is expelling the spokesman of the UN's peacekeeping force in the country over social media posts concerning the presence of Ivorian troops. This comes amid mounting friction between Mali's ruling military and international partners supporting the country's fight against jihadists.
MINUSMA spokesman Olivier Salgado was given 72 hours to leave over "tendentious and unacceptable" posts he made concerning a controversy involving Ivorian troops, Mali's foreign ministry said in a statement received by AFP on Wednesday.
