NIGER Niger Only Seems to Make the News for Bad © Lonely Planet 442 Niger Niger only seems to make the news for bad reasons: its recent coup, the Tuareg Rebellion, famine and – incredibly, as revealed in a trial in 2008 – its ongoing slavery problem. But if you make the effort to visit this desert republic, you’ll find a warm and generous Muslim population and some superb tout-free West African travel through ancient caravan cities at the edge of the Sahara. Sadly, at the time of writing the country’s greatest attractions, the Ténéré Desert and the Aïr Mountains in the north remained closed to travellers due to the Tuareg Rebellion. However, Libyan-brokered ceasefire talks between the Niger Movement for Justice (MNJ) and the government brought an end to the conflict, on paper at least, in 2009. The situation on the ground remains unstable, however, and you should always check the latest information before heading to the country’s north. Despite the closure of much of the county’s north, at the time of writing the fascinating trans-Saharan trade-route town of Agadez was still accessible, as well as a bevy of attractions in the peaceful south: the ancient sultanate of Zinder, the fantastic W National Park, West Africa’s last herd of wild giraffe at Kouré and the impossibly romantic Sunday market of Ayorou. Add to this the laid-back but cosmopolitan capital of Niamey and a trip down the mighty Niger River in a dugout pirogue, and you’ve got yourself a West African adventure NIGER NIGER that can cheerfully rival any other in this book. FAST FACTS Area 1,267,000 sq km ATMs Nonexistent Borders Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Nigeria, Chad; the land border with Libya is currently closed Budget US$15 to US$70 a day Capital Niamey Languages French, Hausa, Djerma, Fulfulde, Tamashek Money West African CFA franc; US$1 = CFA463, €1 = CFA656 Population 14.7 million Seasons Hot and dry (September to May), wet (June to August) Telephone Country code %227; international access code %00 Time GMT/UTC + 1 Visa Required by almost everyone except West African citizens.

  • Big Cats in Africa Factsheet
    INFORMATION BRIEF BIG CATS IN AFRICA AFRICAN LION (PANTHERA LEO) Famously known as the king of the jungle, the African lion is the second largest living species of the big cats, after the tiger. African lions are found mostly in savannah grasslands across many parts of sub-Saharan Africa but the “Babary lion” used to exist in the North of Africa including Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria, while the “Cape lion” existed in South Africa. Some lions have however been known to live in forests in Congo, Gabon or Ethiopia. Historically, lions used to live in the Mediterranean and the Middle East as well as in other parts of Asia such as India. While there are still some Asian Lions left in India, the African Lion is probably the largest remaining sub species of Lions in the world. They live in large groups called “prides”, usually made up of up to 15 lions. These prides consist of one or two males, and the rest females. The females are known for hunting for prey ranging from wildebeest, giraffe, impala, zebra, buffalo, rhinos, hippos, among others. The males are unique in appearance with the conspicuous mane around their necks. The mane is used for protection and intimidation during fights. Lions mate all year round, and the female gives birth to three or four cubs at a time, after a gestation period of close to 4 months (110 days). Lions are mainly threatened by hunting and persecution by humans. They are considered a threat to livestock, so ranchers usually shoot them or poison carcasses to keep them away from their livestock.

  • 1 NIGER WEEKLY SITUATION REPORT Reporting Date: From
    NIGER WEEKLY SITUATION REPORT Reporting date: From 20thJuly to 26th August 2012 I. Overview At least 44 people have been killed and thousands more made homeless after heavy floods caused the Niger River to overflow earlier this week, flooding parts of the capital Niamey and other areas. Up to 340,000 people have been affected by the floods, Niger's government has said. It has declared a state of emergency and called for urgent international aid for 2,000 displaced people. The first foreign aid plane chartered by Ireland and bringing tents, mosquito nets and ther relief items to victims of Niger's flood in Dosso area, arrived Sunday in Niamey. UNHCR has agreed to contribute to the inter-agency humanitarian response and has in that respect released 900 of the 2000 Plastic sheeting it plans to make available. UNHCR participated in a UN agencies joint evaluation mission in the Tillabery area aimed at identifying special assistance needs for the disaster stricken population following the recent floodings In total, 172 new households of 961 individuals have been registered in the three camps during the studied week. Arrivals are now slow but steady. II - Major Developments The general situation remains calm in the country. During the week under report, the frequent rains have caused floods throughout Niger. As a consequence access to the camps are made even more difficult. In terms of damage caused to physical infrastructure the camps have been relatively spared except for Tabareybayrey. The heavy wind and the rains from the 18th and 19th have destroyed several of the MSF tents building which serves as medical center,with serious damages to medical equipments and medical supply.
