NIGER

Niger is a landlocked country in West Africa, bordered by Algeria, Libya, Chad, Nigeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, and Mali. It is one of the world’s largest countries by area but also one of the most sparsely populated, with most of its territory covered by the Sahara and the semi-arid Sahel, and the majority of its population concentrated in a narrow band along the southern border.
