PEOPLE OF
NIGER
-
- Hinge country, Niger
welcomes on its territory, very different populations, black and
the white, nomads and home-bodies. If every ethnic group keeps its
cultural identity, the cohabitation takes place rather well. The
home-bodies cultivate the south part of the country, whereas
generally, the nomads make graze them crowds in the North. Since
the aridity and the reduction of a part of the livestock, nomads
also work the ground. The home-bodies, main part of the
population, understand Songhaï and Zarma (or Djerma) on the
West along the river, the Haoussa in the center and the Kanouri in
the East. Some Gourmantché villages lines the Burkenese
border.
