NIGER ~ Entrance sign to the city of Agadez - Sahara Desert ~

... Received two fantastic African countries... and my first ever from Niger... a vast, arid state on the edge of the Sahara desert... Niger is rated by the UN as one of the world's least-developed and also one of the poorest nations... Agadez has become one of the main transit points for illegal migrants from West Africa who dream of Europe... unfortunately a worldwide problem with no solution ☹.... and with great stamps... Big Thanks David!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯→ Postcards A world Travelogue
