Government no longer exercises de facto control). Besides the largest cities and towns (all urban communes are shown), this table also includes other large rural communes with a population in excess of 50,000.
By far the largest agglomeration in Mali is the capital, Bamako, with a population of 1,809,106 (at the 2009 Census). Thus about 12½ percent of Mali's population live in Bamako.
Cities[edit]
The following table lists all communes with over 50,000 population from the 1 April 2009 census, together with the higher-level administrative unit (région) and second-level unit (cercle) in which each is situated. The population figures refer to the real city (i.e. commune) without any suburbs in neighbouring communes.
Bamako is a separate capital district and is not within any région or cercle; it comprises six urban communes (not individually listed in the table below), which are numbered rather than named.

Lorsque l'Océan Pacifique rencontre la Mer de Béring
Mais comment expliquer que les eaux se touchent sans se mélanger?
Il y a une énorme différence de salinité entre l’eau claire qui provient de la fonte des glaciers, qui est fraîche et pauvre en sel, tandis que l’eau de l'océan, plus foncée, a une forte concentration en sel. Cette différence de salinité crée une différence de densité.
Comme l'eau et l'huile, ces deux océans se rencontrent sur une longueur presque infinie mais ne se mélangent jamais.
Ce phénomène se retrouve également lors de la rencontre des eaux du Rio Solimões et du Rio Negro, ce qui forme une ligne de démarcation naturelle dans les tons bruns.

pour le film Les Diambourou : esclavage et émancipation à Kayes
A la fin du 19ème siècle, les Français ne contrôlaient que la partie gauche du Fleuve Sénégal dans la région de Kayes au Mali et avaient encore grand peine à empêcher les incursions et les razzias venant de la rive droite encore sous contrôle militaire d'Amadou, le fils d'El Hadj Oumar Tall.
The French only controlled the left bank of the Senegal river by the end of the 19th century in the region of Kayes (Mali) and were barely able to prevent incursions and razzias from the right bank still under Ahmadu's military control, the son of El Hadj Umar Tall.
