  • Friends of Niger.  "Friends of Niger (FON) is a registered nonprofit corporation under the laws of the District of Columbia, United States of America. The purpose of FON is to initiate and/or support activities related to Niger and its people and for the benefit of its membership.

    FON was established more than 15 years ago and was active for many years under the leadership of its founder, Meredith Mcgehee, and its immediate past-president, Terry O'Leary.

    The Camel Express is the name of its newsletter. It has a contact list of over 1200 people, largely Niger RPCVs but also many others who have worked and/or lived in Niger, including Nigeriens."
  • Niger Embassy tourism information.  "The Republic of Niger is an entirely landlocked West African country. It covers an area of 1,267,000 square kilometers (490,000 square miles) - approximately twice the size of Texas - bordered by the following countries: Chad to the East, Mali to the West, Algeria and Libya to the North, Nigeria to the South, and Benin and Burkina Faso to the Southwest...

    ...Niger, at the crossroads between Arab-Berber Africa and Sudan-Sahelian Africa is a crucible where people of diverse origins have lived together for thousands of years. Although each of these peoples maintains its own individuality, particularly noticeable in their life-styles, physical features, customs, dress, language and outlook, today they are welded into several quite distinct major groups, each with an internal homogeneity. A first major distinction may be drawn between the black populations, the main settled farmers, and the white populations, principally nomadic.

    Nomadic populations live mainly in the northern part of the country and comprise:

    The Tuaregs (8%), to be found within a long strip of land running from the Mali border in the West to Gouré in the East, and The Fulani (8.5%), who, together with their herds, are concentrated in the Dosso-Agadez-Maine-Soroa triangle. Some have also settled in the West, around Téra, Say and Niamey and they predominate in certain parts of Maradi, Tessaoua, Mirriah and Magaria Districts, where they live alongside Tuaregs and Toubous."
