Niger is a landlocked country situated in West Africa. It is bordered by many countries including Nigeria to the south, Mali and Burkina Faso to the west, Algeria and Libya to the north, and Chad to the east. Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world with a predominantly rural population of approximately 21 million people. It has a diverse ethnic population consisting of Hausa, Zarma, Tuareg, and Kanuri among others. French is the official language of the country, but other languages such as Hausa and Zarma are also widely spoken. Niger's economy is mainly based on agriculture with approximately 80% of the population employed in farming. It is a major exporter of uranium which contributes significantly to the country's economy. However, Niger is faced with many challenges including poverty, drought, food insecurity, and political instability. It is also one of the countries at high risk of climate change and environmental degradation. Despite these challenges, Niger has made some progress in terms of development with improvements in healthcare and education. However, more needs to be done to improve the country's economy and to provide basic services to its people.
