Mali is a landlocked country in interior Western Africa, parts in the north reach deep into the middle of the Sahara desert, while its central parts are in the semi-arid Sahel zone, the transition zone between the Sahara in north and the Sudanian Savannas in south. The majority of Mali's inhabitants of 14.5 million live in the country's southern region. The country's area is more than two times the size of that of France or slightly less than twice the size of the area of the U.S. state of Texas. Since beginning of 2012, the Malian government has lost more and more control over the northern regions of Gao, Kidal, Tomboctou, and parts of northern Mopti. In April 2012 Tuare-led rebels have conquered the historic city of Timbuktu and the northern part of the country, from which at least half the population has fled either into the southern part of Mali or into neighbouring countries. The Tuareg are Berber people, they are the principal inhabitants of the interior of the Saharan desert. The Tuareg declared independence from Mali and named the new state Azawad, which means 'the land of the nomads'. Border Countries: Algeria, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Cote d'Ivoire, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal |
