尼日共和國

位於西非的內陸國家,別和南邊的奈及利亞搞混了,他們的英文名字有夠像。2022年的尼日還是很貧困,人均GDP沒太大提升,人類發展指數也還是全球倒數。但因為鄰國接連發生政變(例如馬利和布吉納法索),尼日反倒成為西非裡頭政局相對穩定的國家。且尼日總統有意將國家打造為對抗恐怖組織的重要基地,積極向土耳其和其他國家購買無人機和國防武器,因此被德國政府稱為撒哈拉區域的「穩定之錨」,法國也從馬利撤離的軍隊重新部署到尼日境內。雖然極端武裝組織博科聖地和ISWAP仍存在著,但安全的曙光值得期待。

Niger is a land-locked state in West Africa with 80% of its territory covered by the Sahara Desert. The majority of its population lives in the farming areas in the south and west of the country. According to a 2020 report, Niger is ranked at the very bottom of the Human Development Index. The entire nation faces a severe food shortage problem. In 2019, the mortality rate for children under five was 8%. Be careful not to confuse Niger with its neighbor Nigeria, a very different country. However, both countries do suffer from attacks launched by terrorist organizations like Boko Haram and ISWAP.
