Mali

Mali is a landlocked Saharan and Sahelian country where the Niger River cuts a broad arc through otherwise arid terrain, sustaining agriculture, fishing, and ancient trade cities in the process. The north dissolves into open desert; the south holds greener savanna and the rhythms of market towns. Dust, heat, and the call to prayer are constants across much of the country.

Mali sits in West Africa, bordered by Algeria to the north, Mauritania and Senegal to the west, Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire to the south, and Burkina Faso and Niger to the east. The capital is Bamako, one of Africa's fastest-growing cities. French is the official language and the West African CFA franc is the currency. Islam shapes social life throughout the country, coexisting with older animist traditions in rural areas.
