THIS IS LIFE IN MALI: dangers, customs, life, tribes, what Not to do

I live in Mali, my family is African and they live in Bamako. I'm so happy to share this with you guys

I love how the reasons for the poverty was white washed. Good job!

I look forward to going there and searching for the origins of the Fomba family. Three of my family members were taken by the French to Mauritius and later to New Orleans, when the British kicked them out during the invasion. The way I understand it, the name Fomba reflects the intermarriage between the Mandinka and the Peul.

Very fair and accurate description of Mali. A lot more could be said, but this is great!

Wow, This was really interesting. Ive never thought about these countries before. Such an eye opener. Thank you for creating such an interesting video.

have visited 6x Timbuktu, twice Gao with the pink dune, several times Djenné and Mopti, a few times Bandiagara, travelled 6 days on a camel through the desert with a local Moorish guide from Timbuktu. It is a very fascinating country with wonderful people, but when Islamic terrorist took over in the north and I was once threatened to be killed during a trip in the desert, I have not gone back.

How does it get poor? And who created terrorists in the country, all the problems created by France in other western nations

As a Malian I can confirm there’s tons of sand storms😂 while I was at the village fana visiting my grandma while we were cooking some rice it started raining very badly and the wind was blowing a lot!! Suddenly our eyes started hurting and we saw lots of sand flying our grandma and relatives quickly ran to take all the drying clothes shoes and pots pans etc inside it was very fun and my brother and cousins ran outside and it was very muddy when they came back they were covered in sand! We also went to Bamako and a tornado happened and our mansion electricity ran out and my auntie and my brother and uncle were at the basketball court but since my other uncle had took the car they had to run home in the middle of a tornado and when they came I only saw papa (my 16 year old uncle) and manman (my 20 year old auntie) so I was concerned why my brother didn’t come and they replied that he wanted to stay longer with ba my 18 year old uncle and 30 minutes later they came soaking wet! They said to not say Tornado 3 times or the tornado will come and destroy our mansion. They said how there was so many people running at the farmers market and how big the tornado was! Sometimes Mali’s weather is exciting but dangerous. Most of these are due to because mali is located in the desert but I’m proud to be a Malian and I’m happy to be back in the USA!

Interested in knowing more about Mali and the Mandinka Tibe of West Africa cause tho I have 11% Mali I also have 20% of Cameroon, Congo and Western Bantu people. All to together 58% African more than I thought cuz of my European/ Puerto Rican heritage!

Mali & Niger & Burkina Faso and all mining-rich countries in West Africa will become prosperous countries rich in wealth developed safe and peaceful like Indonesian Muslims as long as they move quickly downstream and industrialize fast and innovative investment. Greetings from Indonesia
