| #3 It's a landlocked, penniless expanse of undistinguished plains and prairie in the west-central Sahel, SteveS. It makes Chad look prosperous, and Mali cosmopolitan. I have no idea why they haven't attempted to get themselves annexed to a neighboring country with an actual port decades ago, except perhaps that the Ivory Coast, the most rational imperial candidate, is deeply unstable at the best of times, and wouldn't want a vast new Islamic interior to deal with if it were given to them. |
