APREIS: Tourism in Niger,Niger Travelling,photographs

Agadez, formerly targuie capital, legendary city of North for the travelers and the merchants since hundreds of years, show in the mountains of Aïr and the desert of Ténéré, where all seems motionless but where colors, the lights, times and the forms are repeated and changing.It is there where the kingdom of the nomads is: infinite sand dunes, mountainous citadels, magic sunrises and sunsets. Where it is so difficult to survive that those which resist humbly and collectively gain in nobility and freedom. There still the daily tasks consisting in making goat's milk cheese and walking all day long to supply themselves out of water and to find grass for the goats.
But there is also, here and there, the hidden oasis which abound of fruits, as in Timia where small rivers sprinkle the palm trees, the orchards of orange trees, pomegranates, peach trees and of date palms. There are the oasis of Ifeourane and its Tuareg festivals. There is Sikerat where, around wells and few means, secular stockbreeders try to become gardeners. They seek to ensure the autonomy of their subsistence and to offer a school to their children to take up the challenge of the cultural erosion which threatens them.

The Sahara is vast but it is fragile. Pollution, the absurd and the suffering reach it. The Sahara is beautiful, but it is not only a desert, wandering populations resist, wish to live there and to protect it. The Tuareg nomads are people with the strong but so modern identity: first localists and mondialists at the same time. Free people but faithful to their history and the values of a desert which it can tame and which forges its myths and its lives, even in the city.
Simple and immense lives, released from the borders and time and which require to share the respect and the recognition. You should know them, discover the landscapes of which they are still the guards and to share one moment of their fabulous world and their humble lives.
To go to Niger to create new bonds, to forge an active, creative, cordial and festive memory, to discover the pleasure of a world, unique and multiple, wealthy of all the varieties of beauties, dreams and desires.
To travel on an land opened to all forms of cooperations, to pay tribute to the population hosts and to exchange its experiments. To travel simply for one’s pleasure but without forgetting to return it to those which are directly the source of it to help them make and to neither make them do nor make on their behalf.
See on the spot and to take one’s pleasure, it is also to be done oneself and to more let themselves make nor let make, on your behalf, the world, the world of all, by others.
