Madar (Bamako) - Mali's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation on Wednesday 11 November 2026 denied that the Malian embassy in Senegal is subject to any eviction measure, saying that "ongoing discussions concern only an unbuilt plot", which is being followed up with the competent authorities of Senegal, according to a statement from the ministry's information and press office relayed by Senegalese media.
Neither the chancery, nor the ambassador's residence, nor any other Malian state service in Senegal is subject to an eviction measure, the statement said.
The clarification follows reports in Senegalese media, including the daily Les Echos, that Dakar's civil summary-proceedings court had ordered, at first instance, the eviction of the Malian embassy from a 1,157-square-metre plot in the Fann Residence district claimed by the Senegalese company Immoland SARL, finding that the diplomatic mission's occupation of the site had no legal basis.
In its statement, Mali's foreign ministry thanked the Senegalese authorities for their cooperation and reaffirmed Bamako's commitment to the "excellent relations of friendship, fraternity and cooperation" between the two countries.
