Mali Exploring Mali Africa Homepage Geographia Home A lthough it cannot compete with the major safari countries for sheer natural spectacle, Mali is a nation of unusual interest and charm. Like Egypt, Mali is a country that is intimately related to a great riverin this case, the Niger. In addition, Mali is the location of some of the continent's most interesting cultural sites. Legendary Timbuktu is located here, and in the center of the country is the magnificently dramatic Bandiagara escarpment, home to the fascinating culture of the Dogon. Mali, the largest country in West Africa, is bordered by seven other states: Algeria lies to the north and northeast, Niger to the east, Burkina Faso to the southeast and, with the Ivory Coast, to the south. On the west are Senegal and Mauritania. Mali is shaped a bit like a butterfly, leaning to the northwest, with a much smaller left than right wing. The larger northwestern region of the country, which extends into the Sahara, is almost entirely arid desert or semidesert. In the central region, known as the Sahel, life follows the Niger River's annual flood cycle, with high water between August and November. In the southwestern area, rainfall and rivers are more plentiful, and this region is marginally more lush than the rest of the country. Mali's single most important geographic feature is undoubtedly the great Niger River, which traverses both the Sahel and the southeastern section of the country. The Niger, like the Nile, is both a critical source of sustenance and a major transportation arteryand in this latter capacity it is an excellent venue for boat travel.

home search help worldguide ... Postcards Niger Culture The Inadan, extraordinarily gifted artisans, are more or less indentured vassals within the Tuareg family system. They are not paid a wage by the Tuareg, and can often take on the role of a servant, but are also highly respected for their silversmithing abilities and talents in making saddles, camel bags, tools, utensils, and talismans. Of particular note is the Croix d'Agadez, a silver filigree cross recognisable even to westerners; a powerful talisman that protects against the 'evil eye'. For these and other silver works the Tuareg noble makes reparation in the way of gifts and various indulgences, and failure to do so can bring bad juju down on him and his family. It's a prickly paradoxical kind of relationship, with both master and slave occupying the higher ground, but depending on each other for esteem, social worth, and survival. The Inadan have a puckish reputation, 'older than memory, proud as the crow, mischievous as the wind', and can reputedly cast spells, tezma or ettama , as acts of retribution against those who have crossed the invisible Inadan line of respect.

Niger forms part of the vast Sahelian cultural region of western Africa. Although the influence of Islam is predominant, pre-Islamic cultural traditions are also strong and omnipresent. Since independence, greater interest has been shown in the country's cultural heritage, particularly with respect to traditional architecture, handicrafts, dances, and music. With the assistance of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, a regional centre for the collection of oral traditions has been established at Niamey.
