Hi there! Would you please tell me about Mali? 
 Mali is a landlocked country in west Africa. The capital and most populous city is Bamako. 
 Oh, landlocked! So no coast? 
 Correct. Located southwest of Algeria with a population of 14 million people. 
 That's a lot of people! Can you give me some more info on their Geography? 
 It borders Niger to the east, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast to the south, Guinea to the southwest and Senegal and Mauritania to the west. 
 Hmmm, ok! Thanks! How about their History? 
 In early 1959, French Sudan and Senegal united to become the Mali Federation. 
 Fascinating! Can you tell me anything else about their History? 
 In January 2012, a Tuareg rebellion began in northern Mali formed by the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) 
 Thank you so much for your time and facts! 
 You’re very welcome :-)
