Mali is a unitary semi-presidential constitutional republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The country has a diverse population, with the Bambara being the largest ethnic group, followed by the Fulani, Songhai, and Tuareg. French is the official language, but Bambara, Songhai, and other languages are also spoken. The majority of the population is Muslim, but there are also significant Christian and traditional religious minorities.

The economy of Mali is heavily dependent on agriculture, particularly subsistence farming, and mining. The country is also rich in natural resources, including gold and uranium. The government has been implementing economic reforms and trying to attract foreign investment to diversify the economy and create jobs. Despite that, the country remains one of the poorest in the world, with high levels of poverty and unemployment.
