The 537-kilometer (334-mi.) coastline is mostly a low, sandy shore backed by plains and scrub and intersected by several rivers and streams, most of which are navigable only by canoe. A tropical rain forest belt, broken by heavily forested hills and many streams and rivers, extends northward from the shore, near the C´te d'Ivoire frontier. This area, known as the "Ashanti," produces most of the country's cocoa , minerals, and timber . North of this belt, the country varies from 91 to 396 meters (300-1,300 ft.) above sea level and is covered by low bush, park-like savanna, and grassy plains. The climate is tropical. The eastern coastal belt is warm and comparatively dry; the southwest corner, hot and humid; and the north, hot and dry. There are two distinct rainy seasons in the southMay-June and August-September; in the north, the rainy seasons tend to merge. A dry, northeasterly wind, the Harmattan, blows in January and February.

94. Mali: Geography And History Mali s most important geographic feature is the Niger River. The succession of West African empires includes ghana (Wagadu), Mali, and Songhay. http://www.vmfa.state.va.us/mali_geo_hist1.html

From the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Classroom Poster The Art of Ancient Mali Geography P resent-day Mali, at nearly twice the size of Texas, is the largest country in West Africa. Mali is bordered by seven other countries: Algeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Mauritania. Most of the northern half of Mali falls within the largest desert on the planet, the Sahara. The central section of Mali is made up of semi-arid land that is part of a larger region known as the Sahel. Sahel is an Arabic word meaning, “shore,” although, in this case, it can be thought of as the shore of the desert rather than the ocean. The Sahel is nearly 3,000 miles long and from 200 to 700 miles wide in a span across the continent of Africa. It is an area that is gradually being taken over by the southward creep of the Sahara Desert. In the southwestern region of Mali, rainfall and rivers are more plentiful and the climate is slightly more hospitable. Mali's most important geographic feature is the Niger River. The Niger River stretches over 2,500 miles through four countries: Guinea, Mali, Niger, and Nigeria. It arches up alongside the Sahara until it turns south towards the sea. Mali sits at the top of this arc, where the river spreads out and opens into an inland delta. Only about 2 percent of Mali is arable. In this dry climate, it is the Niger River that provides the main source of subsistence, providing fish, drinking water, and water for farming. Growing food in this region depends on the annual flooding of the Niger River, which has traditionally provided fertile plains along its banks.

Once part of the powerful Ashanti empire, Ghana figured prominently in one of the most tragic chapters of Western history - the African slave trade. Here at coastal forts, imprisoned Africans were forced onto slave ships bound for the "New World." This ruinous legacy challenges local people with great needs. But by working to improve educational and medical resources, you build a "bridge of understanding" and help create new opportunities for Ghanaian children and their families. "Beatrice, a student, asked: 'Why must you leave Ghana?' I gave her a practical answer: Our visas allow only a short stay. But, now I would say, 'It's because of the mission we share. We come from our countries bringing love to Ghana. After a short time with you, we experience your love for us. Now we must carry your special love back to our countries so others can know it also.
