Tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Mali’s capital Bamako on Friday, in support of the Malian military leaders’ decision to expel the French ambassador from the country earlier this week.

Mali’s government summoned the French ambassador Joel Meyer on Monday, instructing him to leave the country over what the Malian military spokesperson called ‘hostile and outrageous statements’ by the French foreign minister.

Last week, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian described Mali’s transitional government as ‘out of control’ and illegitimate amid France’s escalating tensions with the West African state following the military’s ousting of the previous government.

The European Union announced on Friday the decision to impose sanctions against
the figures in power in Mali.
