Why don't African countries do justice for narcissistic or evil men? Why don't they protect innocent women?

hi everyone! i recently found out my father's side is from mali. is there any books you guys recommend to educate me on malian culture or traditions? or some malian authors? thank you!

I studied in Bamako 20 years ago. An old woman said something that I'm trying to translate for a small poem I am writing.

I believe she said, "Kunsigi blema akign" which translates to "white hair is nice."

(Kunseegee blay-ma akai)

Is this accurate? Google translate isn't helping me.

I promise the poem isn't racist lol.

Hello everyone,

What do you think of the Malian authorities banning CMAS ? Is it yet another sign that we are dangerously shifting towards a dictatorship or an authoritarian regime? Or is it the price to pay for stability as the association has clearly started callimg for opposing the transition authorities?

Hello everyone, I’m a Bachelor’s student writing my seminar paper on the connection between music and politics in Mali. I’m mostly basing myself on past research, but would love to further broaden my perspective on Mali’s music scene beyond what’s written in academic papers. Can you recommend any politically significant music/musicians I can look into and use as examples in my work? Furthermore, I’m looking to connect with people who speak any Mande languages and people who speak Tamashek, to help me translate some song lyrics and generally just get to know and hear your take on the issue I’m researching. My work would not feel complete if I only base myself on western knowledge, please help me deepen my connection to the music of your country. As a longtime fan of the music coming out of Mali, better understanding lyrics and themes would also be a personal dream come true. If you are willing to connect, please write me a message and we can exchange emails. Thank you!

I’m going to Mali next week and I am planning to buy a SIM card for internet while I’m there. I’ve spent lots of time in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire and accessibility to SIM cards has changed in the past few years with requiring ID cards in order to register.

What is the process for registering a SIM card in Mali? Can I register one with a foreign passport?

If it’s possible, what is the telecom with the most reliable network? (Around Bamako)

Hello! Nice to meet you all.

I'm posting here to see if you may be interested or know someone who might want to participate in our remote Audio Data Collector project. The main task is to record prompts on your mobile phone, and the pay is 30USD for the entire task.

Although our project is looking for Dioula/Juula/Dyula speakers, we are also opening this to Bambara/Bamana/Bamanankan speakers as well. The details are available in this link below, but if you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me as well: https://likhacareers.recruitee.com/o/dyula-speaking-audio-data-collector

I work for a small company in the Philippines and was tasked to hire remotely, but I have no idea where to start. Questions and feedback are welcome :)

Hello, I am of sudanese origin, I previously used to work in the physical gold trading sector in sudan, primarily sourcing in sudan and exporting to the MENA region. After a civil war broke out in 2023 I eventually left sudan and for obvious reasons the supply chain in Sudan collapsed. I know Mali has high gold production and I’m hoping to connect with anyone in this sector.

I have loved for many years the song Ai Du by the Malian singer Ali Farka Touré. But what I've been searching for is the lyrics of that song, ideally with a translation. Could someone write it down for me? Unfortunately, I don't speak the language at all, but I would like to hum the song in my own way. :-) Thank you very much!

J'aime depuis de nombreuses années la chanson Ai Du du chanteur malien Ali Farka Touré. Mais ce que je cherche, ce sont les paroles de cette chanson, idéalement avec une traduction. Quelqu'un pourrait-il me les écrire ? Malheureusement, je ne connais pas du tout la langue, mais j'aimerais fredonner la chanson à ma façon. :-) Merci beaucoup!
