Mali 1998

Mali Capital

In 1998, Mali was a landlocked country in the Sahel region of West Africa with a population of around 12 million. The economy was largely dependent on agriculture and livestock farming, with other industries such as mining and manufacturing also playing an important role. The government was a single-party democracy with strong emphasis on human rights and social justice. In terms of infrastructure, the country had good access to roads and electricity as well as telecommunications. Health care was also good in most areas of the country, though access to basic medical services was still limited in some rural areas. Education levels were quite low compared to other African countries due to limited access to educational opportunities for many Malians. Despite its limitations, Mali had several natural resources that could be tapped into for economic development including abundant reserves of gold, uranium, and phosphates for mining as well as forests and fisheries along its extensive coastline. Additionally, its unique biodiversity made it a hotspot for conservation efforts in the late 1990s. All in all, Mali’s potential for growth and development were evident despite its many challenges in 1998. See dentistrymyth for Mali in the year of 2015.
