Visite de Djenné / Visit of Djenne (Mali)
Djenné (also Dienné or Jenne) is a historically and commercially important small city in the Niger Inland Delta of central Mali. It is just west of the Bani River (the Niger River passes well to the west and north). It has an ethnically diverse population of about 12,000 (in 1987). It is famous for its mud brick (adobe) architecture, most notably the Great Mosque of Djenné which was rebuilt in 1907. In the past, Djenné was a centre of trade and learning, and has been conquered a number of times since its founding. It is the oldest known city in sub-Saharan Africa, and its historic city center was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. Administratively it is part of the Mopti Region.
Djenné was founded in about 800 CE by the Bozo people at a site known as Jenné-Jeno, 1.5 km upstream. It moved its site in either 1043 or the 13th century, when the city converted to Islam. This increased its importance as a market and a base for trans-Saharan trade, soon rivalling Timbuktu.
Djenné, despite its proximity, was never part of the Mali Empire. It existed as an independent city-state protected by walls and the geography of the inland delta. According to legend, the Mali Empire attempted to conquer the city 99 times before giving up. Djenné would not be conquered until 1473 by the Songhai Empire under Sonni Ali. The siege of Djenné is said to have lasted 7 months and 7 days culminating in the death of the city's king and its capitulation. The widow of the city married Sonni Ali, and peace was restored. In 1591, Morocco conquered the city after destroying Songhai's hold in the region. By the 1600s, Djenné had become a thriving centre of trade and learning. Caravans from Djenné frequented southern trading towns like Begho, Bono Manso, and Bonduku.
The city continued to change hands several times. Djenné was part of the Segou kingdom from 1670 to 1818, Massina under the Fulani ruler Amadou Lobbo from 1818 to 1861, and the Toucouleur Empire under Umar Tall from 1861 to 1893. The French finally conquered the city that year. During this period, trade declined and the city's importance with it.
Attractions include the tomb of Tupama Djenepo, who in legend was sacrificed on the founding of the city, and the remains of Jenné-Jeno, a major city from the 3rd century BC until the 13th century.
Approximately eight hours by road from Bamako, Djenné is notable in that it becomes an island when the rivers rise at the end of the rainy season. However, problems of a different nature were reported in 2008 when it was said that Djenné was drying up because of a controversial dam, completed in 2007, across the Bani River at Talo, about 150 km upstream.[2] The weekly market, when buyers and sellers converge on the town from the surrounding regions, is a key tourist attraction.

Mali
Islam was introduced to West Africa in the 11th century and is the predominant religion in much of the region. It is estimated that 90% of Malians are Muslims (mostly Sunnis, about 5% of Christians (about two-thirds of Catholics and one-third of Protestants), and the remaining 5% are adherents of traditional indigenous or animistic beliefs. Malians often wear fluffy and colorful dresses. Malians often participate in traditional festivals, dances and ceremonies. Greeting the people is very important, you should get acquainted with the greetings in French or, better still, in Bambara. Sellers should be treated accordingly, even if you are just buying the bread only. . It is very important to show a general interest in the other person, so ask about family, work, kids, and so on.
Bamako
Bamako is the capital and the largest city of Mali with a population of 3.3 million people. In 2006, it was rated as the fastest growing city in Africa and the sixth fastest in the world. Bamako, the capital of Mali, may not have the cultural appeal of Timbuktu or Jenna, but it has a fascinating collection of architectural styles and an elegant location on the banks of the Niger River. It is also the center of the country's traditional music scene, and Malians of all ethnic groups flock to Bamako's nightclubs to dance at night to the sound of Cora, a lute-like instrument.
Wedding ceremony in traditional Mali style – people are singing the songs, dancing and having a traditional food. I saw personally wedding ceremony was for one week. Every day they have a guest and they are celebrating it. Mali people; they have their own traditions. One traditional I saw is; when bride will come at Groom home. Big sister of the groom will wash the face, hand and foot of the groom as well as his best friend. Like my friend was the best friend of the groom. He was sitting there and was the part of that ceremony. Dinner will serve only to close relatives - Beans with Beef & rice with mix vegetables and spicy sauce.
Timbuktu
Timbuktu lies at the border of the Sahara desert in Mali. It is a legendary place since 1324. Closely linked to Timbuktu by the Saharan trade in gold, salt and slaves, Djenné is known the world over for its adobe architecture, in particular the Grand Mosque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest mud-brick building in the world.
Best time to visit:
The best time to visit Mali is from November to February, during the cool and dry season.

Les villages Dogons de la falaise de Bandiagara (Mali)
Bandiagara Escarpment and Dogons villages (Mali)
(first Ireli (geolocalization), after Amani and last Tireli)
Les Dogons sont un peuple du Mali, en Afrique de l'Ouest. Leur population est estimée à 700 000 personnes[réf. nécessaire]. Ils occupent la région qui va de la falaise de Bandiagara au sud-ouest de la boucle du Niger. Quelques Dogons sont installés dans le nord du Burkina Faso, d'autres se sont installés en Côte d'Ivoire.
Les Dogons sont avant tout des cultivateurs (essentiellement du mil) et des forgerons. Ils sont réputés pour leur cosmogonie et leurs sculptures. La langue parlée par les Dogons est le dogon qui regroupe plusieurs dialectes. Il existe aussi une langue secrète, le sigi so, langue réservée à la société des masques. Les Dogons sont liés avec lethnie des Bozos par la parenté à plaisanterie. Dogons et Bozos se moquent réciproquement, mais parallèlement se doivent assistance.
Les Dogons seraient venus du Mandé, région située au sud-ouest du Mali au XIVe siècle pour éviter l'islamisation. Ils se seraient installés à Kani Bonzon avant de se disperser sur trois sites que sont la Falaise de Bandiagara (site mis en 2003 sur la liste mondiale du patrimoine de l'UNESCO), le plateau (région de Sangha) et la plaine. Cette falaise était alors habitée par les Tellem, portant aussi le nom de kurumba. D'après les Dogons, les Bana ont précédé les Tellem. Même s'ils ont longtemps subi la domination des divers peuples ayant créé de grands empires ou royaumes, les Dogons ont toujours su conserver leur indépendance à cause de la difficulté d'accès à leurs territoires montagneux isolés. Les Dogons luttèrent farouchement contre les Mossis à l'epoque de l'empire sonhrai, puis contre les Peuls à partir du XVIIe siècle. Les Dogons et les Soninkés sont très liés, les Dogons étaient parfois influencés culturellement et linguistiquement par les Soninkés dont certains se sont mélangés aux Dogons lors de leur grande dispersion après la chute de l'empire du Ghana.
The Dogon are a group of people living in the central plateau region of Mali, south of the Niger bend near the city of Bandiagara in the Mopti region. They number just under 800,000. The Dogon are best known for their mythology, their mask dances, wooden sculpture and their architecture. The past century has seen significant changes in the social organization, material culture and beliefs of the Dogon, partly because Dogon country is one of Mali's major tourist attraction
The principal Dogon area is bisected by the Bandiagara Escarpment, a sandstone cliff of up to 500m (1,640 ft) high, stretching for about 150km (almost 100 miles). To the southeast of the cliff, the sandy Séno-Gondo Plains are found, and northwest of the cliff are the Bandiagara Highlands. The current population is at least 450,000. Historically, Dogon villages have frequently fallen victim to Islamic slave raiders.Neighboring Islamic tribal groups acted as slave merchants, as the growth of cities increased the demand for slaves across the region of West Africa. The historical pattern has included murder of indignenous males by Islamic jihadists and enslavement of women and children. As early as the 12th century the Dogon people fled west to avoid conversion to Islam and enslavement.
At the end of the eighteenth century, the jihads that were triggered by the resurgence of Islam caused slaves to be sought for warfare. Dogon insecurity in the face of these historical pressures caused them to locate their villages in defensible positions along the walls of the escarpment. The other factor influencing their choice of settlement location is water. The Niger River is nearby and in the sandstone rock, a rivulet runs at the foot of the cliff at the lowest point of the area during the wet season.

도공은 이번 말리여행에서 가장 북쪽에 위치한 곳이다. 강과 멀어지면서 사막지역으로 좀 더 깊숙이 들어간다. 150킬로미터로 쭉 뻗어 있는 사암 절벽은 최고 높이가 500미터에 이르기도 한다. 척박한 땅과 자연환경이 어떤 이들에게는 오히려 보다 편한 안식처가 됐다. '텔렘'이라고 하는 고대 피그미족들이 다른 종족들의 공격을 피해 살았던 곳이다. 그들은 절벽 한 가운데 동굴을 파고 줄을 타고 오르내리며 살았다. 깎아지른 듯한 절벽은 이들에게 더할 수 없이 안전한 보금자리를 제공했다. 발아래, 흙 대신 단단한 돌부리가 차이는 이곳은 반디아가라 절벽 바로 밑. 작고 붉은 사람들이라는 뜻의 '텔렘'들은 14세기까지 이곳에 살았다. 말리 사람들은 아직도 그들이 날 수 있었다고 믿고 있다.
