Relations between Mali and France have plunged deeper into crisis after a French embassy official was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a court in Bamako. Malian authorities accused Yann Vezilier of undermining state security and acting on behalf of French intelligence, allegations Paris strongly rejects. France has condemned the ruling and demanded his release, calling the accusations baseless. The case stems from a wider investigation into an alleged coup plot against Mali’s military government. For many in Bamako, the trial symbolises a struggle over sovereignty, while France sees it as a politically motivated prosecution amid collapsing bilateral relations.
