The United Nations mission in Mali officially ended its 10-year deployment in the country on Monday, in a pullout ordered by Mali's military leaders.
The symbolic ceremony marks the official end of the mission, the mission's spokesperson Fatoumata Kaba said, even though some elements remain in the country.
