Today, Wednesday, the Malian authorities ordered the expulsion of the spokesman for the United Nations mission (MINUSMA).
The government accused the spokesman of publishing “unacceptable information,” according to an official press release.
The statement stated that the government informed Daniela Kroslak, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, of Bamako’s decision to “invite Mr. Olivier Salgado, spokesman for MINUSMA, to leave (Mali) territory within 72 hours.”
The financial authorities justified this decision by “publishing malicious and unacceptable information from the person concerned (Salgado) on the social network Twitter.”
