Yesterday, Mawlana Hazar Imam began his Golden Jubilee visit to West Africa in Bamako, Mali, accompanied by Prince Rahim, Prince Hussain and Princess Khaliya.

In a full ceremonial welcome, which included a guard of honour and a rendering of the Nashid al-Imamah and the Malian National Anthem, Mawlana Hazar Imam and his family were received at the airport by the President of the Republic, Amadou Toumani Touré, senior government ministers and representatives of the Aga Khan Development Network.

Their visit to Mali will include stops in Mopti, Timbuktu and Bamako, and the inauguration of several projects of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. They will later visit Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal to meet with the respective heads of state and government leaders, and to review the work of the Aga Khan Development Network in the region.

Further details, including press releases, Mawlana Hazar Imam’s speeches and photographs are available on the AKDN website. Additional information will continue to be posted at www.TheIsmaili.org.
