Niger or the Niger[8][9] (/nadr/ ( listen), or /nir/;[10][11] French: [ni]) officially the Republic of
the Niger,[8][9] is a landlocked country in Western Africa, named after the Niger River. Niger is
bordered by Libya to the northeast, Chad to the east, Nigeria and Benin to the south, Burkina
Faso and Mali to the west, and Algeria to the northwest. Niger covers a land area of almost
1,270,000 km2, making it the largest country in West Africa, with over 80 percent of its land area
covered by the Sahara Desert. The country's predominantly Islamic population of about 21
million[12] is mostly clustered in the far south and west of the country. The capital city is Niamey,
located in the far-southwest corner of Niger.
Niger is a developing country, and is consistently one of the lowest-ranked in the United
Nations' Human Development Index (HDI); it was ranked last at 188th for 2014.[6] Much of the non-
desert portions of the country are threatened by periodic drought and desertification. The economy is
concentrated around subsistence and some export agriculture clustered in the more fertile south,
and the export of raw materials, especially uranium ore. Niger faces serious challenges to
development due to its landlocked position, desert terrain, inefficient agriculture, high fertility rates
and resulting overpopulation without birth control,[13] poor education and poverty of its people, lack of
infrastructure, poor health care, and environmental degradation.
Nigerien society reflects a diversity drawn from the long independent histories of its several ethnic
groups and regions and their relatively short period living in a single state. Historically, what is now
Niger has been on the fringes of several large states. Since independence, Nigeriens have lived
under five constitutions and three periods of military rule. Following a military coup in 2010, Niger
has become a democratic, multi-party state. A majority live in rural areas, and have little access to
advanced education. 71.3% of the population cannot read as of 2015, one of the lowest literacy
rates in the world.

Prehistory
Ancient rock engraving showing herds of giraffe, ibex, and other animals in the southern Sahara near Tiguidit,
Niger.
Early human settlement in Niger is evidenced by numerous archaeological remains. In prehistoric
times, the climate of the Sahara (Tenere desert in Niger) was wet and provided favorable conditions
for agriculture and livestock herding in a fertile grassland environment five thousand years ago.[14]
In 200506, a graveyard in the Tenere desert was discovered by Paul Sereno, a paleontologist from
the University of Chicago.[15] His team discovered 5,000-year-old remains of a woman and two
children in the Tenere Desert.[15]The evidence along with remains of animals that do not typically live
in desert are among the strongest evidence of the 'green' Sahara in Niger. It is believed that
progressive desertification around 5000 BCE pushed sedentary populations to the south and south-
east (Lake Chad).[16]
Overlooking the town of Zinder and the Sultan's Palace from the French fort (1906). The arrival of the French
spelled a sudden end for precolonial states like the Sultanate of Damagaram, which carried on only as
ceremonial "chiefs" appointed by the colonial government.
Empires and kingdoms in pre-colonial Niger
By at least the 5th century BCE, Niger became an area of trans-Saharan trade, led by the Berber
tribes from the north, using camels as an adapted means of transportation through the desert. This
trade has made Agadez a pivotal place of the trans-Saharan trade. This mobility, which would
continue in waves for several centuries, was accompanied with further migration to the south and
interbreeding between southern black and northern white populations. It was also aided by the
introduction of Islam to the region at the end of the 7th century.[16] Several empires and kingdoms
also flourished during this era up to the beginning of colonization in Africa.
Songhai Empire (6001591)
Main article: Songhai Empire
The Songhai Empire was an empire bearing the name of its main ethnic group, Songhai or Sonrai,
and located in western Africa on the bend of the Niger River in present-day Niger, Mali and Burkina
Faso. In the 7th century, Songhai tribes settled down north of modern-day Niamey and founded the
Songhai city-states of Koukia and Gao. By the 11th century, Gao had become the capital of
the Songhai Empire.[17]
From 1000 to 1325, The Songhai Empire prospered and managed to maintain peace with its
neighboring empires including the Mali Empire. In 1325, the Songhai Empire was conquered by the
Mali Empire, but was freed in 1335 by prince Ali Kolen and his brother, Songhai princes held captive
by Moussa Kankan, the ruler of the Mali Empire.[17] From the mid-15th to the late 16th century,
Songhai was one of the largest Islamic empires in history.[18]

Hausa kingdoms (mid-14th century 1808)
Main article: Hausa Kingdoms
Between the Niger River and the Lake Chad lay a fertile area and Hausa kingdoms. These kingdoms
flourished from the mid-14th century up until the early 19th century when they were conquered
by Usman dan Fodio, founder of the Sokoto Empire. The Hausa kingdoms were not a compact entity
but several federations of kingdoms more or less independent of each other. Their organization was
somewhat democratic: the Hausa kings were elected by the notables of the country and could be
removed by the latter.[17]
The Hausa Kingdoms began as seven states founded according to the Bayajidda legend by the six
sons of Bawo. Bawo was the unique son of the hausa queen Daurama and Bayajidda or (Abu
Yazid by certain Nigerien historians) who came from Baghdad. The seven original hausa states
were: Daoura (state of queen Daurama), Kano, Rano, Zaria, Gobir, Katsena and Biram.[17]
Mali Empire
Main article: Mali Empire
The Mali Empire was a Mandinka empire founded by Sundiata Keita circa 1230 that existed up to
1600. At its peak circa 1350, the empire extended as far west as Senegal and Guinee Conakry and
as far east as western Niger.
Kanem-Bornu Empire
Main article: Kanem-Bornu Empire
The Kanem-Bornu Empire was an empire that existed in modern-day Chad, Nigeria, Cameroon,
Niger and Libya. The empire first existed and prospered as the Kanem Empire as early as the 9th
century and later as the kingdom of Bornu until 1900.
