Political Unrest in the Sahara
One of the Sahara region, Niger has political unrest problems. Niger is one of the most poorest countries in the world, and the Niger Nomads are fighting for their right against their government as the 'terrorist MNJ'. Nomads are saying that they are not even considered as citizens in Niger, and they said that they have no development and always suffer from disease and hunger.
This is one of the biggest political problems in the Sahara region. On 2007, July, the MNJ terrorist group had kidnapped one of the Chinese engineers, they had killed more than 70 soldiers, so the government call MNJ group as “Bandits” or “drug dealers”. MNJ group is made of mostly with Tuareg people and Niger nomadic people.
