These subdivisions bear the name of their principal city. During French colonial rule in Mali, a cercle was the smallest unit of French political administration that was headed by a European officer.

Since these reforms, cercles are now di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
