Neighbor of Niger and Senegal (4)

I believe the answer is:

mali

(Other definitions for mali that I've seen before include "part of Africa" , "W. African country" , "African country, once French Sudan" , "Indian gardener; African republic" , "West African country, capital Bamako" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
