Niger

Niger, a landlocked country in West Africa, is largely covered by the Sahara Desert and is known for its arid landscapes and traditional nomadic cultures. The Niger River, which flows through the southwest, provides essential water resources for agriculture and supports the livelihoods of many communities. Although one of the world’s least developed nations, Niger has a rich history and cultural heritage, with ancient trade routes and vibrant local traditions.

  • Niger is one of the largest producers of uranium, which is a significant export and a major contributor to its economy.

  • French is the official language, but Hausa and Zarma are widely spoken among the population.

  • The traditional Cure Salée festival celebrates the end of the rainy season and brings together nomadic Tuareg and Wodaabe communities in a colorful cultural gathering.
