The Sahara is the biggest desert on earth ... it takes its name from the Arab word for "emptiness". In the dead heart of that emptiness there's a place called the Tenere. The Tenere takes its name from the Tuareg word for "nothing". A nothing the size of France in the middle of an emptiness the size of the United States. It's no wonder the locals call this place "The Land Of Fear”. David Adams retraces the trade routes of the people who call this stove-hot corner of the planet home.

Also known as the ‘Uranium Capital of Africa’, Niger is the world’s fourth-largest producer of uranium ore, it provides 7.5 percent of the world's mining output, from Africa's highest-grade uranium ores, according to the World Nuclear Association. But as the usual narrative goes, uranium represents around 80 percent of the country’s exports but contributes only 5 percent to the national GDP.

Uranium is arguably the most strategic commodity for France and since its discovery in Niger a major chunk of the ore has been exclusively exported to France for over 50 years by Areva, the massive state-owned nuclear power company of France.

While Niger’s uranium lights the Eiffel Tower including one-third of households in France, add to that propping up France's nuclear superpower status, the people of Arlit and Akonan, popularly known as the twin mining towns in Niger – the real owners of this valuable wealth - are living in squalor.

When France began mining uranium ore in the deserts of northern Niger in the early 1970s they promised to build a ‘Little Paris’, in the country. However, the mining towns remain dusty and neglected, scoured by desert sandstorms and barely touched by the mineral wealth it ships off to Europe each year.

Mahamadou, 12, is one of the growing number of children living on the streets in Niger. Subscribe to UNICEF here: http://bit.ly/1ltTE3m.

Every day, he collects iron scraps and tin cans in public waste and sells them to a local merchant. Children can earn 250 CAF Francs (approximately US$0.50 cents) for two kilos and use the money to buy cigarettes and glue.

"After three years, I dropped out of school. I had enough," he explains. "Before I had other friends. Then I met those ones. When I was hanging out with them, I smelled the strong scent of glue. That's how I started sniffing. Before all that, I was able to make some money that I brought home. Since I met those ones, we spend our time sniffing."

Despite these hardships, he is moving toward a brighter future by attending SEJUP, a public service centre sponsored by the Government of Niger, UNICEF and its partners. For many children like Mahamadou, centres like these serve as their sole support structures.

Title: PanAfricanism in the Mud Again | Niger versus ECOWAS - The Battle for Democracy
In this gripping video, we delve into the turbulent aftermath of the coup in Niger Republic, where PanAfricanism finds itself entangled in a complex web of conflicting interests. Welcome to "PanAfricanism in the Mud Again | Niger versus ECOWAS - The Battle for Democracy."

After a recent coup in Niger, the nation underwent a swift government change, leaving the people jubilant with the prospect of a fresh start. However, amidst the celebrations, the regional body Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) stands ready to go to war against itself to ensure a return to democracy in Niger.

As tensions rise between the people's desire for change and ECOWAS's commitment to democratic principles, we explore the roots of PanAfricanism and how it intertwines with the aspirations of the Nigerien people. This video offers a thought-provoking analysis of the complexities surrounding the struggle for democracy in the West African region.

Join us as we investigate the motives behind ECOWAS's intervention, the challenges it poses to the concept of PanAfricanism, and the potential consequences for Niger and the entire sub-Saharan African community. Expert perspectives and in-depth research will shed light on the underlying issues at play, seeking to understand the delicate balance between sovereignty and regional solidarity.

As we navigate through the twists and turns of this political landscape, we invite you to engage in the comments section below to share your thoughts, opinions, and questions about the delicate balancing act between national sovereignty and collective responsibility.

Don't miss this eye-opening exploration of the power struggles within PanAfricanism, as we witness Niger versus ECOWAS in the Battle for Democracy. Like, share, and subscribe to stay informed about this critical chapter in Africa's history, and join us in the journey to comprehend the challenges of upholding democracy in a diverse and interconnected continent.

Jeune sénégalaise, Kiné est une « disquette », une jeune femme vivant à la mode parisienne (vêtements, chaussures, accessoires etc.). Lorsqu’elle découvre que son jeune époux se détourne peu à peu d’elle au profit des femmes sénégalaises traditionnelles, elle décide d’entreprendre un voyage initiatique au pays d’Aïda Souka, une "Drianké" (femme experte dans l'art de la séduction). Ce voyage nous invite à la découverte des artifices, parfums, stratégies et autres bijoux qu’utilisent les femmes Sénégalaises pour captiver leurs hommes.

#Wolof #Senegal #Gambia
Tall, dark, and striking, Wolof people are believed to be the tallest ethnic group in West Africa. Most of them are 6 feet tall and also very dark. They are the giants of West Africa.
The West African Wolof people are the largest ethnic group in Senegal, particularly concentrated in its northwestern region near the Senegal River and the Gambia River. In the Gambia, about 16% of the population is Wolof. In Mauritania, about 8% of the population is Wolof. Their total population exceeds 6 million in the three countries and they are 90 % Muslim.
On average, the Wolof people are 6 feet tall for the men and around 5 feet 7 feet for the women. This is one of the reasons why Senegal has one of the best basketball teams in Africa.
This is just my hypothesis but I believe the reason why they are so tall is that they may be descended from proto- Nilotic people who lived around the Nile Valley, which is in modern-day South Sudan. Their skin complexion is very dark, almost similar to the Dinka and Nuer, who are the world's tallest people.
They speak The Wolof language which belongs to the Senegambian branch of the Niger-Congo language family. Unlike most other languages of the Niger-Congo family, Wolof is not a tonal language.
The Wolof first entered Senegal from the northeast in about the 11th Century coming to the lower Senegal Valley. They are said to be composed of an amalgam of Mandingo, Sereer, and Fula. Cheikh Anta Diop believes that they came from the Nile valley and that the Wolof were part of the formation of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
Wolof people are often seen in colourful fabrics and patterns with the traditional boubou the garment of choice for both men and women. Variants are worn on a day-to-day with the whole shebang coming out on special occasions; the most important for the Wolof is the feast of Tabaski (the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice.
The Wolof, particularly the women, are known as being very beautiful. They dress fashionably and wear sophisticated hairstyles. They are often the fashion-setters for others around them. While many of the Wolof have settled in cities and worked as merchants, teachers, or government officials, most of them still live in rural areas and work as peasant farmers.
Traditionally the Wolof were divided into three classes: the freeborn, those born into slavery, and the artisans. The freeborn class ranged from high-ranking noblemen to common peasant farmers. The slave class was made up of the Wolofs whose parents were slaves. They were born into slavery and continued to serve their parent's masters. Finally, the artisans were considered a low class in Wolof society. This group included blacksmiths, leather workers, and musicians. Intermarriage among the three classes was a very rare occurrence.

However much of this class distinction is disappearing among the Wolof. For example, former president Abdou Diouf of Senegal was actually from the blacksmith class.
Hundreds of years ago, the Wolof conquered many tribes in the northwestern Senegal area. By the end of the 1300s, the Wolof had grown into a large empire of separate, self-governing states. By the 1500s, the empire had split into five major Wolof kingdoms which included Waalo, Kayor, Baol, Sine, and the Kingdom of Saloum.

Bété Bété raconte l’histoire de familles profondément marquées par les legs du sang. Respectivement Guéér et Teug, Alkali Sall et Makhoudia Tall sont amis intimes de longue date. Une amitié à l'épreuve des préjugés...
Certaines considérations autour des castes rendent impossible des amours à l’instar de l’idylle de jeunesse entre Alkali et Daba Thiam. Diouma, fille non reconnue par Alkali, est née de cette relation. Suite à cela, Ndiaga Thiam, père très conservateur de Daba, nourrit une colère viscérale vis à vis d’Alkali.
Tenant à sa lignée, Marème Sall, épouse d'Alkali refuse de se familiariser avec les Gnégnos. De son côté, Makhoudia Tall doit gérer un ménage polygame avec deux épouses respectivement Teug et Guéweul. Ainsi donc, la série Bété-Bété parait comme un reflet de la société sénégalaise sous ses diverses coutures.

Last month the EU parliament approved a new set of immigration rules which will allow member states to send send illegal immigrants back to where they come from. They can also be detained for up to 18 months and banned from re-entering the EU for five years.

One of those who would have been affected by the new rules is 28-year-old Senegalese Omar Bar. The boat he travelled on to Europe sank. He was the only survivor.

Now he lives legally in France and campaigns to alert young Africans to the risks they are taking if they try to reach Europe. This is his story.
