Mali is pulling out of a multinational military force fighting Islamist militants in West Africa's Sahel region.
Mali says that this was a protest against its rejection as head of the G5 regional group that also includes Mauritania, Chad, Burkina Faso and Niger.
Mali's junta blamed a lack of progress in the fight against the Islamists and the failure to hold recent meetings in Mali.
Mali's withdrawal could further isolate the country whose economy has been hit by sanctions since the coup.
