Mali Edition
World Comfy Couch Day leads today's complete edition for Mali.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for sinking in, putting your feet up, reading something good, and the simple pleasure of resting properly.
The week before Independence Day, Bamako starts preparing. Bunting goes up, military uniforms come out of storage, and children practice the national anthem with the kind of determination that only a schoolteacher with a ruler can inspire. The market sells miniature flags and green-gold-red everything.
