    Extractions: Niger travel guide - The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and what to see the travel guide you write Recent Changes Map View Enlargement [edit this] [Upload image] Niger is a landlocked country in the heart of Africa, at the south end of the Sahara. It borders on Chad Nigeria Algeria Burkina Faso ... Benin and Mali . Most people of Niger are muslims, although there are quite some differences in their practice depending on the region where they are from. People of Arab descent tend to be a bit stricter than the Haussa from the south.However, these differences seem to be slowly disappearing. Niger was one of the last places in Africa to fall under colonial rule and in the case of Niger, it were the French that left their mark on the country and its inhabitants. French is still widely spoken and if you don't speak Haussa, Pulaar or any of the other languages spoken in Niger, you will probably (have to) get by with your French. The capital city of Niamey is a nice and easy going town with colourful markets. More importantly, Niger has stunning natural beauty, especially in the Mountain ranges in the north of the country, but also houses a few old trading centers in the Sahara, such as

    Extractions: not to grow crops. We artificially inflate the price of food. We make sure our corporations provide their rich stockholders with profits, even if people have to die of starvation to create those profits. This blood is on our hands. Why, oh why, do they hate us? Posted by Chuck Dupree at July 31, 2005 07:18 AM Comments Africa is a truly fucked up place. The West, alas, has little inkling of what goes on there. At the core of much of Africa's troubles is tribal strife. This goes back millenia, and it's just a fierce today as it was 1200 years ago. As an African friend explained it to me, the top priority for most Africans is getting enough food for todayeating tomorrow is of no consideration whatever. Just enough food for today. Once that's taken care of, the next priority is how to wipe out the tribe next door. If you look at African politics, what you find is tribe-against-tribe arrangements. In most cases, one tribe holds all the levers of power, and uses those to deny anything above economic subsistence to those outside the tribe. This, of course, drives the entire economy down the shitter and keeps almost everyone desperately poor. But that is of no consequence when the economy can be used to oppress the hated [fill in tribe name here].
