Touna is a small town and commune in the Cercle of Bla in the Ségou Region of southern-central Mali. As of 1998 the commune had a population of 20,238.
==History== Touna was one of the headquarters of the Bambara resistance to the Toucouleur Empire. Warlords Kegue Mari (1862-70) and Nyenemba (1870-78) were both based in the area. Resistance continued after the fall of Segou to the French in 1890. In February 1891, Lieutenant Hourst had led a small column against Touna.
