What a great project. Really puts perspective on what can be accomplished with public funds and vision. Meanwhile shit like Starlink exists and lasts maybe a couple of years. I wonder whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???
I was in Niger in 2015 and the mine outside of Agadez hired everyone to come and work which left schools lacking teachers because pay was better at the mine. Then they closed it down and teachers went to find other jobs.
I have been to dysfunctional countries before but this was pretty bad. The government was shaky then and basically the military takes bribes for anything. Wells that NGOs paid to have dug are basically cement slabs on grade and no well.
The complicated history, culture, colonialism and people really leave shallow options for improvement. Coups are a part of Niger unfortunately. It sucks because the culture and the people are really amazing.
I wonder what Sidi Amar and the Tuareg are up to. Probably kicking some ass as usual.
Lol i love this
