It is a level one, but the map displays the city.
The found geometry is the one of the lowest level location (in Mali, the main cities give their name to the higher level admin units).

The map displays the lowest and highest geometries for the name "Bamako" which is wrong because Bamako is "MLI001".

It's actually correct to treat the small polygon for Bamako as an Admin 1.
It is also probably present (or should be anyway) at all the other levels
as well. Think of it as a very small Admin 1 that is not subdivided at
lower levels. If you still think there is something weird, we can look at
the data.

One have to know in Mali, the main cities give their name to the higher
level admin units.
It seems that the found geometry is the one of the lowest level location.
A query should use the URI instead of the name to find the correct geometry.

ok, then I got it.

And MLI005 is the large admin unit around it.

Thanks
