1 The French colony of Soudan took the name of Mali after independence in 1960. When referring to the colonial period, I call the colony ‘Soudan’ and use the term ‘Soudanais’ for its people, so as not to confuse either with the English colony and independent country of Sudan. When referring to the independence era, I call the country Mali and use the term ‘Malian’ both as an adjective and as a term for the people who live there.
