Mali

Mali is a landlocked country in West Africa. The capital is Bamako. With a population of about 22-million, Mali has an economy heavily dependent on agriculture and mining, particularly gold extraction. Gold is the country's leading export, making Mali one of Africa's largest gold producers. The currency is the West African CFA franc. Mali is a republic and a member of the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) and the African Union. The country spans the southern edge of the Sahara desert and the Sahel region, with the Niger river providing vital water resources for agriculture and transport. Key economic sectors include cotton production, livestock and artisanal mining alongside industrial-scale operations. Mali has faced significant security challenges in recent years, including political instability and insurgencies in northern and central regions, which have affected investment and economic development. The country gained independence from France in 1960 and has experienced several periods of military rule and democratic transition.
