Direct fiber connectivity between Niger and Algeria

I was looking into terrestrial fiber connectivity in Africa and noticed a lack of overland routes between Northern and Southern Africa in general.

There's connectivity to the border at In-Guezzam, Algeria but does it cross to Arlit in Niger (forgive my spelling)

I'm asking because maps might not be the ground truth

Now, the US may lose its anti-terrorism base in Niger.

In the new era of great power rivalry, Africa has become one of the places where the US is losing. Russia is quickly making inroads in Niger, and the consequences could extend beyond the unstable African Sahel.

According to Radio Télévision du Niger, last week a hundred Russian military instructors arrived in the capital, Niamey. The broadcaster reported that they arrived with "a modern air defense system acquired as part of military cooperation with the Russian Federation."

Additionally, last Saturday, hundreds of people gathered in Niamey to protest against the American military presence in the country, with some of the protesters reportedly waving Russian flags.

Last year, as the publication recalls, France withdrew its troops from Niger, and last month the junta ruling the country, which came to power as a result of a coup in July, canceled a military agreement with Washington.

The publication notes that Niger is a key center in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel and North Africa. The country hosts the second-largest US military contingent on the continent after Djibouti.

If the US loses its base in the Sahel, it will reduce their ability to conduct active surveillance and early warning, including for defense purposes, recently warned General Michael Langley, head of the US Armed Forces' Africa Command.

The US has long neglected Africa, but global pariah regimes are not repeating this mistake. They are filling this vacuum, and this will lead to trouble for American interests.

Local guide

Anyone have a local number for a trusted guide to take me around the sites? I am looking for someone affordable.

I need some help for a research project. What type of bean dishes do those from Niger eat?

Hello,

I'm doing a research project about Pulses (a category of food that includes lentils and beans) and I want to look up what people from Niger eat. But I can't seem to find it anywhere. I don't understand why. Does anyone have names of dishes I can please look up? It needs to have either lentils, chickpeas, or beans. I appreciate it so much! Thank you a ton!!!!!

Are non-muslims allowed to study in the Islamic University of Niger?

Hi there, I'm doing a small research on universities under OIC. Now, can you folks give me an idea about non-muslims in the Islamic University of Niger? It'd be important to know. And It'd be great if you could provide any verifiable source to prove your claim (those can also be in French). Have a nice day!

Can A Little White Girl Live in Niger Alone

Hey this is probably gonna sound crazy and stupid but I'm curious how you guys will respond: I am from the US, 20 years old, and I am decently well traveled. And honestly I am pretty smart; I study physics and linguistics as well as philosophy, Portuguese, and French.

This is completely hypothetical as I have to finish my college degree before I will likely move anywhere and I am just curious what it would be like if someone like myself were to live in Niger; bear with me.

In my world and to those I am surrounded by (the US, consumed by western drama), a place like Niger is not on everybody's radar, so consequently I am almost certainly extremely uneducated on the historic depth of Niger. From what little I know, Niger seems like an incredible place and I am determined to learn more!

Something about Niger specifically is intriguing. It just seems like a vital spot in Africa in the middle of one of the largest deserts on earth yet steeped in culture and surrounded by the spectacles of Northern, Western, Eastern, and Southern African- like truly in the heart of Africa.

I am kinda weird but also I just love people I think people are awesome. I sleep on the floor and can run fast. I'm really not picky, and if some food makes me throw up I'll usually just laugh. I consume very little, am not easily frustrated or bothered, and like to tell myself I've overcome a fear of death. Que sera, sera! I love to write and learn and am very helpful.

So, even if I did something like peacecorp there, what could I expect? (Also side note, have programs like the Peacecorp been at all helpful in Niger?)

Again, I could just be crazy and stoopid!!! But thanks for reading if u got this far xoxo.
