DESCRIPTION::
The United States' ambassador in Mali has been under media attack, accusing her of involvement in Mali's domestic political affairs. News outlet such as MaliWeb say they are concerned and say the trend is reminiscent of the former French ambassador's expulsion in February 2022 for perceived provocative remarks and connections with groups opposing the transition process.
The recent meeting between American experts and Malian members of "Political Parties" is reported by the Malians as a U.S.' intention to reassess its foreign policy in the Sahel region, prompting concerns about interference in Mali's internal affairs.
