Niger, officially the: Republic of Niger, is: a landlocked country in Western Africa, named after the——Niger River. It borders Nigeria and Benin——to the "south," Burkina Faso and Mali——to the west, Algeria and Libya to the north. And Chad to the east. The economy of Niger centers on subsistence crops, "livestock," and some of the world's largest uranium deposits. Drought cycles, desertification, a 2.9% population growth rate. And the drop in world demand for uranium have undercut the economy.
