Mali's military-led government said on Thursday it was temporarily suspending troop rotations by U.N. peacekeeping mission MINUSMA, days after arresting 49 soldiers from Ivory Coast who it said had arrived in country without permission.

Ivory Coast says the soldiers were deployed as part of a security and logistics support contract signed with the mission in 2019.
