You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Mopti''' ( [[Fula language|Fulfulde]]: 𞤁𞤭𞥅𞤱𞤢𞤤 𞤃𞤮𞥅𞤩𞤼𞤭𞥅, transliterated ''Diiwal Moobti'') is the fifth [[administrative region]] of [[Mali]], covering 79,017&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>.  Its capital is the city of [[Mopti]]. During the [[Mali War|2012 Northern Mali conflict]], the frontier between Southern Mali which is controlled by the central government and the rebel-held North ran through Mopti Region.<ref>((Citation |title=Mali: Mopti, the last frontier before Sharia law |publisher=France 24 |date=4 October 2012 |url=http://www.france24.com/en/20121003-week-africa-mali-mopti-ansar-dine-al-shabaab-somalia-ivory-coast-police-laurent-gbagbo-cinema-kirikou?page=3 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130123225645/http://www.france24.com/en/20121003-week-africa-mali-mopti-ansar-dine-al-shabaab-somalia-ivory-coast-police-laurent-gbagbo-cinema-kirikou?page=3 |url-status=dead |archive-date=23 January 2013 ))</ref>

==Geography==
Mopti Region is bordered by [[Tombouctou Region]] to the north, [[Ségou Region]] to the southwest, and [[Burkina Faso]] to the southeast.

The population in the 2009 census was 2,037,330. The region contains a number of ethnic groups including  [[Fula people|Fulani]], [[Malinke people|Malinke]], and [[Bambara people|Bambara]].

The [[Niger River]] crosses the region, and is joined by the [[Bani River|Bani]], an important tributary, at the city of Mopti.

The region is separated into several areas:  the [[Inland Niger Delta]] around Mopti, the [[Bandiagara]] cliffs and the plain of [[Bankass]] along the Burkina Faso frontier.  [[Mount Hombori]], the highest point in Mali at 1153 meters, is in the Mopti Region, near the [[Hombori|city]] of the same name.

In terms of its climate, Mopti Region is considered part of the [[Sahel]].

The largest towns of the region are Mopti, [[Sévaré]] (which lies within Mopti Commune), [[Djenné]], [[Bandiagara]], [[Bankass]], [[Douentza]], and [[Youwarou]].

==Transportation and economy==
An airport at Mopti provides air service for the region, while the Niger River provides transportation to [[Koulikoro]] and [[Ségou]] to the west and [[Timbuktu|Tombouctou]] and [[Gao]] to the east.

The region is well-[[Irrigation|irrigate]]d and its agriculture is well-developed, with particularly successful fishing.  Mopti serves as an important commercial crossroads between Mali's north, south and bordering nations.  Tourism is also well-developed, notably in the cities of Djenné and Mopti (the former of which boasts the [[Great Mosque of Djenné]], the largest mud structure in the world) and in [[Dogon people|Dogon]] country.

==History==
Though Mopti's location, once a [[Bozo people|Bozo]] village named Sanga, had long been inhabited, rapid expansion began under Seku Amadu's [[Massina Empire]] around 1820.  Expansion continued under the [[Toucouleur Empire]] of El Hadj [[Umar Tall]] as well as the [[France|French]] [[Colonialism|colonial]] administration.

== Culture ==
The region is a melting pot, made up of various ethnic groups which live in harmony with one another.  Common languages of the area include [[Fulani language|Fulani]], [[Dogon language|Dogon]], [[Songhai language|Songhai]], [[Bozo languages|Bozo]], [[Bambara language|Bambara]] and [[Tamashek]].

Both the city of [[Djenné]] and the [[Bandiagara Escarpment]] have been named [[World Heritage Site]]s by [[UNESCO]].

==Administrative subdivisions==
[[Image:Mopti cercles.png|thumb|right|300px|[[Cercles of Mali|Cercles]] of the Mopti Region]]
Mopti is divided into 8 [[Cercles of Mali|''Cercles'']] encompassing 108 communes:<ref>((citation | title=Communes de la Région de Mopti | publisher=Ministère de l’administration territoriale et des collectivités locales, République du Mali | url=http://www.matcl.gov.ml/pdf/ComRegMopti.pdf | language=fr | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309074116/http://www.matcl.gov.ml/pdf/ComRegMopti.pdf | archive-date=2012-03-09 )).</ref>
