Après la révolte de Kaocen en 1916-1917 et son anéantissement par les troupes coloniales françaises, l’aménokalat des Iwilimenden fut disloqué et réparti en plusieurs groupements. Cette technique de diviser pour mieux régner, largement utilisée par l’administration coloniale, constitue le point de départ du découpage administratif pour les populations de cette région.

  • NIGER - DIFFA : Les Incidents Liés Au Groupe Boko Haram* (1 Janvier Au 31 Août 2018)
    NIGER - DIFFA : Les incidents liés au groupe Boko Haram* (1 janvier au 31 août 2018) De janvier à août 2018, la situation sécuritaire dans la région de Diffa a été marquée par une augmentation des exactions des éléments du groupe armé non étatique Boko Haram (BH) et une baisse des victimes civiles liées à ces incidents comparativement à la même période l’année dernière (2017). Les mois de janvier et août 2018 ont enregistré le plus d’incidents (47/94 soit 50%). Les communes de Gueskerou, Bosso, Maine Soroa et Chetimari sont les plus touchées par les attaques du groupe BH (73/94 incidents soit 78%). Des attaques terroristes majeures ont été rapportées dans les localités bordant les berges de la Komadougou et les localités proches des îles du Lac Tchad. Le 4 juin, 3 kamikazes ont fait exploser leurs charges dans un quartier de la ville de Diffa tuant 6 civils. Trois (3) bases militaires ont été attaquées par les éléments du groupe BH respectivement les 17 janvier, 23 janvier et 1 juillet dans les localités de Toumour, Chétima Wangou (Chetimari) et Bilabrin (N’Guigmi) faisant des victimes dans les deux camps. Ces incidents et d’autres de nature criminelle (enlèvements, extorsions et menaces) sont à l’origine de mouvements de populations entre les différents sites et/ou villages.

  • Evaluation Report Agadez Emergency Health Project Care International Pn- 40
    FINAL EVALUATION REPORT AGADEZ EMERGENCY HEALTH PROJECT CARE INTERNATIONAL PN- 40 James C. Setzer, MPH Shannon M. Mason, MPH Seydou Abdou Issoufou Mato August 1999 Acknowledgments: The evaluation team would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Project PN-40 for what is clearly a job well done! They have worked tirelessly to provide important health services to communities that, due to many factors, previously had none. They have done so by using their hands and feet, heads and most importantly their hearts. The results described here would not have been possible if the entire team had not been truly dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the population in their target areas. They have clearly believed in what they set out to do and its importance. In conditions such as these, technical know-how alone is not sufficient to get the job done. For their efforts and dedication then they should be congratulated and thanked. Thanked on behalf of CARE for representing their organization and its mission so well and on behalf of the women and children of northern Niger who will not suffer from preventable illness and death. The evaluation team sincerely hopes that their efforts may in some small way be seen as a contribution to this effort. It is important, also, to thank a number of persons for their input and assistance to this final evaluation exercise. The CARE/Niger country team under the leadership of both Jan Schollert and Douglas Steinberg should be acknowledged for their assistance in putting the evaluation team together and facilitating their work.

  • In Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Situation Overview : Niger – Tillabéri and Tahoua Regions | March 2020
    Humanitarian situation monitoring (HSM) in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Situation overview : Niger – Tillabéri and Tahoua regions | March 2020 Context Since the outbreak of violence in Mali in 2012, the border area between Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso has been characterized by a climate of insecurity due to the presence of armed groups, crime and rising tensions between communities1. The security situation in Niger has deteriorated sharply since 2018 and has caused the internal displacement of 159,028 people in the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions as of March 20202. In addition, the provision of humanitarian assistance is subject to multiple constraints resulting in limitations to access affected populations due to security, geographic and climatic factors, as well as to measures taken as part of the state of emergency covering parts of the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions1. Limited humanitarian access is one of the factors at the origin of important information gaps about the scope, nature and severity of needs. To fill these information gaps, REACH has been implementing a monitoring of the humanitarian situation, financed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) since January 2020, following a pilot phase in November 20193. This situation overview presents the main results for data collected in March 2020 in the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions and analyzes the development of main indicators in the Tillabéri region between November 2019 and March 20204. Methodology This assessment adopts a so-called “Area of knowledge” methodology. The aim of this methodology is to collect, analyze and share up-to-date information regarding multi-sectoral humanitarian needs in the region, including in areas that are difficult to access.

RESUME On évoque souvent, à propos de l’agriculture sahélienne, les caprices de la pluviométrie notamment les sécheresses catastrophiques de 1973 et de 1984. Pour autant, en dehors de ces épisodes de crises exceptionnelles et de leurs conséquences dramatiques, les savoir-faire paysans et le dynamisme des communautés rurales, ont permis de surmonter bien des difficultés. Les solidarités entre générations, la cohésion des familles, une économie populaire informelle, sont autant de parades à l’incertitude et aux mauvaises conjonctures. Dans la vallée d’Arewa, le doublement de la population ces vingt cinq dernières années a été accompagné d’un formidable mouvement d’extension des cultures, avec pour corollaire, une saturation des terres cultivables et une diminution sensible de la couverture végétale.

  • Food Insecurity Situations, the National Society (NS) Has Better Equipped Branches, Has Trained More Volunteers and More Technical Staff Are Recruited at Headquarters
    DREF operation n° Niger: Food MDRNE005 GLIDE n° OT-2010000028- NER Insecurity 23 February, 2010 The International Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of national societies to respond to disasters. CHF 229,046 (USD 212,828 or EUR 156,142) has been allocated from the Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Red Cross Society of Niger in delivering immediate assistance to some 300,000 beneficiaries. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: This DREF aims to mitigate the food shortage due to bad harvests last year affecting about half of the population (7.7 million) of Niger. The DREF is issued to respond to a request from the Red Cross Society of Niger (RCSN) to support sectors of food security and nutrition for about Red Cross supported Graham bank in Zinder. 300,000 people with various activities including cash for work, water harvesting and environmental protection actions, seeds and stock distribution, and support to nutrition centres. This operation is expected to be implemented over 2 months, and will therefore be completed by 23 April, 2010; a Final Report will be made available three months after the end of the operation (by July, 2010). An emergency appeal is in preparation to extend the activities until the harvest time in October or November, 2010.

Issues/threats Once widely distributed across the Sudano-Sahelian Zone, from Senegal to Lake Chad, West African giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis peralta)1 have been eXtirpated from most of their former range as a result of anthropogenic pressure (Hasannin et al. 2007; Ciofolo & Le Pendu 2002; Le Pendu & Ciofolo 1999; Ciofolo 1995; Dagg & Foster 1976; Happold 1969). Population growth, civil unrest, illegal hunting, habitat alteration, destruction and fragmentation as well as a series of intense droughts have all contributed to the dramatic decline in the distribution and range of West African giraffe (Hasannin et al. 2007; Suraud & Dovi 2007; Niandou et al. 2000; Le Pendu & Ciofolo 1999; Ciofolo & Le Pendu 1998; Ciofolo 1995; Dagg & Foster 1976; Happold 1969).
