The UN is gravely concerned about heightened tensions and increasing armed presence in Northern #Mali, which are likely to impede the timely and orderly departure of @UN_MINUSMA. Diop said he was aware the UN had requested authorisation to send in logistics convoys by road to remove equipment from its northern bases and conduct air operations to protect the drawdown.
