    Given the numerous mentions of the state of Mali in the news, I thought it fitting to bring this excellent thread, by our own international expert, Megan, to the top of the list again.

    Here is what she posted in July 2009: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/38475-mali/?hl=mali

    And here is some information on two of those awards which may be relevant to the current situation.

    Order of Military Merit Knight

    The order was instituted on the 25th September 1974 and awarded for meritorious service and distinction in combat. The Mali Federation gained independence from France on June 20, 1960. Senegal withdrew from the federation in August 1960, which allowed the Sudanese Republic to form the independent nation of Mali on September 22, 1960.

    Military Merit Medal:

    Instituted 25th September 2009. Awarded: To enlisted ranks for 15 years' meritorious service and distinction in combat, [or] to all receiving one or more wounds in combat.
