The military rulers in Mali have banned all non-governmental organisations that are funded or supported by France from operating in the country.
Humanitarian groups are included in the ban.
The junta says the move followed France's decision to stop development aid over Bamako's alleged use of paramilitaries from the Russian Wagner group.
Mali's interim Prime Minister Colonel Abdoulaye Maïga denied those allegations, saying they were aimed a destabilizing the country.
Mali's foreign ministry described the French government as dehumanizing aid for their people and said France was using the funds to blackmail governments and support the terrorist groups in Mali.
