Mali expels UN mission’s human rights chief

Political News

The Malian interim government says the head of the United Nations peacekeeping mission’s human rights division has been asked to leave the country within 48 hours after being declared persona non grata. The decision to expel Guillaume Ngefa-Atondoko Andali was connected to his allegedly biased choice of civil society witnesses for UN Security Council briefings in Mali. The Malian government, which took power in a 2021 military coup, pushed back against some of the UN allegations and emphasized the authorities’ commitment to respecting human rights.
