位於西非的內陸國家,國土面積有80% 是撒哈拉沙漠,人口大多集中於南部和西部的農村地區。根據2020年統計報告,尼日是人類發展指數最後一名的國家。全國面臨嚴重食物短缺,2019年五歲以下兒童死亡率是8.04%。另外不要把他和南方的鄰居奈及利亞搞混了。尼日人在英語稱Nigeriens, 而奈及利亞人則另稱Nigerians。但兩者同樣都受到非洲恐怖組織博科聖地和ISWAP的恐怖攻擊所苦。(想認識奈及利亞的可以先偷看9/16 喔)
Year Founded: 1960
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.
