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.

In most of former French West Africa, the term ''cercle'' was changed to prefecture or department after independence, but this was not done in Mali.

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