#3 Yeah, but it is Authentic African Gibberish. I wonder if they will give up writing too.

No offense to the good people of Mali, but if you have 13 national languages, you don't have a national language or even a real nation. It's just of bunch of tribes living in a geographic boundary.

According to well-known experts, "You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer."

#5 "13 other national languages spoken in the country will receive official language status."

Are their as many economic opportunities in these areas where these languages are spoken?

I doubt it.
