About Niger
Similar to neighbouring Mali and perhaps the most popular Sahelian country with travellers.
Niger (pronounced: nee-ZHAIR) is an arid, landlocked country of the Sahel with a population of 12 million. It is bordered by Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Nigeria, Chad and Libya. Niger is a former French colony which was granted independence in 1960. The land is mostly desert plains and dunes, with rolling savanna in the southeast with nothing much to see.Based on text from Wikivoyage (CC BY-SA 4.0)
