Niger Rebellion

Over the past year, desert nomad rebels in northern Niger have renewed violence against government targets in the uranium rich Saharan region because of what the rebels say is continued neglect and discrimination. The government blames the violence on drug smuggling. Phuong Tran traveled through this conflict zone, and filed this report to VOA
