Entre junte et jihadistes : reportage au Niger, au cœur d’un pays assiégé
Coincé entre la terreur des groupes armés et l’isolement diplomatique provoqué par la junte dirigée par Abdourahamane Tiani, le Niger traverse l’une des pire crise économique et sécuritaire de son histoire récente. Retrouvez notre série de reportages dans les zones tenues par les jihadistes, où la survie devient un acte de résistance.
As dusk descends upon the outskirts of Zinder, a city in southeastern Niger, Rabiatou, 29, begins to pack away her modest stall. With a bundle of second-hand clothes balanced on her head, she starts her journey home. Today, like many days, has been exceptionally challenging; she managed to sell only a single item for 1,000 F CFA, half of which was immediately spent on transportation. Arriving home, her baby on her back gurgles, anticipating the sight of her three other children.
Rabiatou’s daily struggle epitomizes the profound economic hardship gripping Niger, which is currently enduring one of its most severe economic and security crises in recent memory. The nation finds itself caught between the relentless threat of armed groups and the stifling diplomatic isolation imposed by the junta, led by Abdourahamane Tiani. This precarious situation has transformed mere survival into an act of enduring resistance for countless Nigeriens.
