  • A Cercle is the second level administrative unit in Mali. Mali is divided into eight regions and one capitol district. These subdivisions bear the name of their principal city. The regions are divided into 50 Cercles. During French colonial rule in Mali, a Cercle was the smallest unit of French political administration that was headed by a European officer. A cercle consisted of several cantons, each of which in turn consisted of several villages. In 1887 the Cercle of Bafoulabé was the first Cercle to be created in Mali. In most of former French West Africa, the term Cercle was changed to Prefecture or Department after independence. Some Cercles (and the district) were, prior to the 1999 local government reorganisation, further divided into Arrondissements, especially in urban areas or the vast northern regions, which consisted of a collection of Communes. Since these reforms, Cercles are now directly subdivided into rural and urban communes, which in turn are divided in Quartiers (Quarters, or Villages and encampments in rural areas) which have elected councils at each level. There are 703 Communes, 19 Urban Communes and 684 Rural Communes. The cercles are listed below, by
  • Een cercle is een bestuurlijke eenheid in Mali. Mali is onderverdeeld in negen regio's. Deze regio's zijn genoemd naar de belangrijkste stad die in de betreffende regio is gelegen. De regio's zijn weer onderverdeeld in 49 cercles. DE cercles zijn weer onderverdeeld in communes, 19 stedelijke communes en 684 landelijke communes. Tijdens de Franse overheersing van Mali was een cercle de kleinste administratieve eenheid, die werd geleid door een Europese officier. Een cercle bestond uit verschillende cantons, die weer uit verschillende dorpen bestonden. Gardes-de-cercle ondersteunden de Europese officier. Gardes-de-cercle waren Afrikanen, die werden gebruikt als politiemensen, ter ondersteuning van de lokale koloniale autoriteiten. Aangezien deze gardes-de-cercle regelmatig arrestaties moesten verrichten en deze mensen dwongen om dwangarbeid te verrichten, werden ze veelal gerekruteerd buiten de cercle waar ze dienden. Ondanks het feit dat ze Afrikanen waren, werden ze veracht en niet vertrouwd door de lokale bevolking. De cercle van Bafoulabé was in 1887 de eerste cercle die werd gecreëerd in Mali.
  • Um Cercle é a unidade administrativa de segundo nível, no Mali. Mali está dividido em oito regiões e um Distrito Capital. Estas subdivisões ostentam o nome de sua principal cidade. As regiões são divididas em 50 Cercles. Durante o domínio colonial francês em Mali, um Cercle foi a menor unidade de administração política francesa, que foi chefiado por um oficial europeu. Um cercle consistia de diversos cantões, cada um dos quais, por sua vez, consistia de várias aldeias. Em 1887, o cercle de Bafoulabé foi o primeiro a ser criado no Mali. Na maioria das antigas África Ocidental Francesa, o conceito de Cercle foi alterado para prefeitura ou Departamento após a independência. Alguns Cercles (e o distrito), foram, antes da reorganização do governo local de 1999, subdividido em Arrondissements, especialmente em áreas urbanas ou as grandes regiões setentrionais, que consistiu de uma coleção de comunas. Uma vez que estas reformas, Cercles estão agora diretamente subdivididos em comunas rurais e urbanas, que por sua vez, estão divididos em Quartiers (Quarters, ou aldeias e acampamentos em áreas rurais), que têm conselhos eleitos em cada nível. Existem 703 Comunas, 19 comunas urbanas e 684 comunas rurais. Os cercles estão listados abaixo, por região:
