Despite its poverty and poor living conditions, it can into good music. It also has a military that can into imaginings.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on9rVl77ixQ</ref>

The Republic of Maliball is probably sadly, the least popular and saddest countryball in the world, hopefully, he's good at music. He is both member of the Atlantic-Congo family and of the Nilo-Saharan family.
== History ==
Maliball is a descendant of the {{I|8}} [[8ball]]. The earliest known kingdom in its clay was the {{I|Djenne}} [[Djenneball]]. After Djenneball developed, an empire formed near it, and this empire was [[Ghana Empireball]]. Maliball's population boomed during this due to the trade of Gold and Salt to far away places like {{I|Byzantine}} [[Byzantiumball]] and the {{I|Sassanid}} [[Sassanianball|Sassanianbal]]. The Ghana Empireball declined though and was replaced by its great-grandparent was {{I|Mali Empire}} [[Mali Empireball]] (and was the richest countryball that ever existed in history), but it was deposed by its child {{I|Songhai Empire}} [[Songhaiball]] and after the destruction by {{I|Kingdom of Morocco}} [[Kingdom of Moroccoball]], it was ruled by [[Bamana Empireball]]. Its parent, [[Toucouleur Empireball]] was killed by {{I|France}} [[Franceball]], that adopted it.

The African Democratic Rally was founded in {{I|French Sudan}} [[French Sudanball]] as a comprise for Post-[[WW2]] {{I|France}} [[Franceball]] feeling not too well hold on to its children. There would be many offsprings of the party, like the one in {{I|Guinea}} [[Guineaball]].

On the 4th of April, 1959, {{I|French Sudan}} [[French Sudanball]] asked {{I|French Senegal}} [[French Senegalball]] to merge. Senegal said "Oui" and the {{I|Mali Federation}} [[Mali Federationball]] was born, but less in a year in it, split due to internal power struggles. With {{I|Senegal}} [[Senegalball]] splitting off, {{I|Mali}} Maliball can into independent. Mali went to war against {{I|Burkina Faso}} [[Burkina Fasoball]] in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agacher_Strip_War Agacher Strip War] for oil in its northern clay.

In 2012 {{I|Azawad}} [[Azawadball]] tried to secede from it, following the same year the north of Maliball was anschlussed by {{I|Al-Qaeda}} terrorists who invaded [[Timbuktuball|Tombouctouball]] and ruined everything. As of right now {{I|Al-Qaeda}} Al-Qaedaball and {{I|ISIS}} ISISball have huge control of Azawadball's clay. This brought the attention of its parent {{I|France}} [[Franceball]], who with {{I|ECOWAS}} [[ECOWASball]] is landing troops to fight the Jihadists. To this day in it's [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mali_War forever long war.] It killed some {{I|UN}} [[UNball|peacekeepers]].

In 2020, the military couped it (DURING GLOBAL CEASEFIRE {{I|UN}}), and now the new dictators abolished its government. This, once again ruining everything, messed up its 60th birthday. This caused {{I|African Union}} [[African Unionball]] and {{I|French}} Francophonieball to kick poor Maliball out of their clubs. 

Since the new coup in {{I|Mali}} Maliball in 2021, Mali's new military junta and the west African intl. organisation {{I|ECOWAS}} [[ECOWASball]] have not really been getting along. {{I|ECOWAS}} [[ECOWASball]] suspended Maliball membership and demanded {{I|Mali}} Mali should return to a more democratic form of government. The Junta proclaimed that this was only a transitional period and agreed to hold elections in February 2022.

Well, about a week into 2022 the junta stated they would not be holding elections as scheduled, supposedly for safety reasons. They have also presented a plan for the transitional period, and according to this plan, the transitional period will end with a presidential election. In 2026. The more ingenious people in the audience might have noticed that this essentially bypasses the election and is giving a free term of office to the military junta. {{I|ECOWAS}} [[ECOWASball]]'s members agreed to close their borders to {{I|Mali}} Maliball and suspend diplomatic and trade relations with the countryball and once again it was suspended from the {{I|African Union}} [[African Unionball]]. 

{{I|EU}} [[EUball]] also sanctioned Maliball, but it just brought {{I|Russia}} [[Russiaball]] and {{I|China}} [[Chinaball]] involved to help irrelevant {{I|Mali}} Maliball. Since January, it told {{I|Denmark}} [[Denmarkball]] to withdraw troops. The junta grew a dislike towards {{I|France}} [[Franceball]]'s troops and expelled {{I|France}} [[Franceball]]'s ambassador for criticizing the military junta, giving them 3 days to leave. With French withdrawal from [[Timbuktuball]], {{I|Mali}} Mali went on to replace those troops with {{I|Russia}} [[Russiaball]]'s. This made {{I|France}} [[Franceball]] feel sour.

Since 28 May 2021, military colonial Assimi Goïta was declared intern president.

== Personality ==
<s>Severe Depressionball</s> Maliball has many security problems on its clay (evil jihadists!) and is one of the least developed countries but tries to stay optimistic and friendly with other countryballs, even if it can be of sad by moments (when it thinks about its rich grandparent). It is a music lover and is famous for having the best musicians in West Africa, and it also likes to tell stories and legends when it plays the Kora (its traditional instrument).

Y'know what almost no one remembers him so I'm gonna give him a cool hat to make him special (polandball pls consider my suggestion)

== How to draw ==
Drawing Maliball is very simple:
# Divide the basic circle shape into three vertical stripes, <font color="#14b53a">'''green'''</font>, <font color="#fcd116">'''yellow'''</font> and <font color="#ce1126">'''red'''</font>
# Draw the eyes and you've finished.
