The Malian interim government on Sunday said the head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission’s human rights division had 48 hours to leave the country as he had been declared persona non grata.
In a statement, it said the decision to expel Guillaume Ngefa-Atondoko Andali was connected to what Mali’s ruling junta said was his allegedly biased choice of civil society witnesses for U.N. Security Council briefings on Mali, the most recent of which was held on Jan. 27.
