Country Ambassadors are pawns that get used all the time by countries to express their displeasure.
Hell France pulled their Ambassador from OZ not long ago because of the Cancelled submarine contract.
And oz has on occasion expelled Ambassador's. The sky doesn't fall in then.

Mali is progressing for what is good for their Country and will get back to an elected government in due course. In the meantime the Mali military is doing some good work trying to resolve some of the Terrorists that continually cause issues.
