The Republic of Mali is a landlocked nation in western Africa, bordered by Algeria to the north and Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso to the south. The population is about 16 million people. Although French is the official language, Bambara, Berber, and Arabic are widely spoken. The government is a republic with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government.
One of the poorest nations, Mali struggles with political turmoil and armed conflict, drought, and land that is almost half Sahara desert.The area that is now Mali was part of a medieval Islamic centre for learning, art and trade. In 1904, after fierce resistance, the French colonised the area that became known as the French Sudan. In 1960, French Sudan gained independence and declared itself the Republic of Mali.
Since the 1990s, the Tuareg people in the north have struggled for land and rights. In 2012, with weapons from Libya, ethnic militias began a rebellion in the northern region of Mali. The Malian military was taken by surprise and expelled, and Islamic militants took control. In 2013, the French military intervened and regained control of the area. In mid-2013, a democratic election took place and the president was re-elected. At the time of writing, ethnic violence continues in the region, and the security situation is fragile.
