Yélimané
7.7
Lower score (below 6)
Yélimané is one of Mali's most remote towns (~8k), sitting on the Mauritania border in desiccating heat where power fails for weeks. It's a military checkpoint more than a city, and the population is almost entirely Soninke or Moroccan traders. Women's roles are even more restrictive than in Nioro; foreign men simply don't date here—you'd be the subject of official suspicion and family hostility.
