Mali Independence In A Nutshell
Sixty-three years ago, Mali severed it’s colonial shackles to France. Under the leadership of communist President Modibo Keïta, the country enacted pro-people reforms and attempted to form a federation with its neighbours, albeit unsuccessfully.
As the country celebrates its 63rd birthday, it’s recently reemerged as a powerful force in West Africa. It has taken the initiative to liberate the country from neocolonialism, booting out French troops, French propaganda outlets and even the French ambassador.
Further, in a move that would get a nod of approval from Keïta himself, the country is deepening ties with its neighbours Burkina Faso, Guinea and Niger. This has immense potential to improve the lives of Africans in the region - as united we stand, divided we fall.
Join us in wishing the home of Mansa Musa and the University of Timbuktu a happy 63rd birthday! Here’s a two-minute look back at how it gained its freedom.
