Niger for Newbies

Sannu! This is a blog that I have created for Brother Wilson's "The Developing World" class at BYU-Idaho. This blog is targeted at those who, like myself, know nothing about the country of Niger. I will be posting videos and thoughts here as I learn about the West African country, and hopefully those who are reading will learn something right along with me. Na gode! ~Rachel

Niger Map and Flag

Niger is the largest country in West Africa. Here you can see it on the map, as well as its flag. The upper orange band on the flag represents the northern regions of the Sahara Desert. The center white band represents purity and the Niger River. The Lower green band represents both hope and the fertile regions of southern Niger. The orange circle in the center represents the sun and independence.
