There was a kid in the same dorm who spent many of his growing up years in Mali. His Dad was posted there with the State Department. He said it was considered an armpit posting among armpit postings.
I knew a LEGAL emigrant from Mali ~ He told about the brutal, reprehensible life his people were forced to live. (his family had enough wealth to e$cape).
Many years ago, Mali was a literal HELLhole, and I don’t suppose it improved in any measure during the regime of barack hussein obama?
barack hussein continuously betrays Americans, Africans, and God-loving Christians every other day!
Spawn of Satan, return ye to Hades, where thou wast born!!
Spawn of Satan; return thee now to Hades, from whence thee came!
A good friend of mine was raised in Mali as his dad was a Missionary to that country.
In the early 90’s, a military officer in Mali led a rebellion and arrested the dictator. He ordered fair elections, in which he refused to run and used the military to enforce the election results. His name was Toure and he ran in the early 2000’s and won the Presidency.
For most of the 90s and early 2000s, Mali was one of the most stable countries in Saharan Africa due to the military supporting free and open elections. When Toure was overthrown a few years ago in a coup d’état, the country entered into it’s current period of conflict.
