@@guccianddodul Some countries in Africa do not follow the Extreme form of Islam. We should appreciate the fact that these people are working really hard with limited resources to look after their families unlike rich Islamic countries with everything and focuses only on religion..

I am happy to see that Mali is putting an effort towards education. It is a good start to spark the minds of their people. In time you will see how creative your people will become and there will be no boundary to their creativity. If you can dream it then you can build it. May you be blessed.

Good documentary that show us the difficult life for those tribes in the Niger River, mainly in Mali. It is true that with the advancing quickly of the technology, many tribes need to adapt quickly in it's new environment. However, the lack of education, health care, employment make harder in achieving these challenges. God blesses this nation Mali and it's people.
