Please do not send any more emails to my mail box. I'm glad I saw your
"niger" lover shirt before I spent money with you ignorant, racist, people.
(Editor's Note: How dare you insult us just because we love Niger? Sure it
isn't as flashy as Chad, or as cosmopolitan as Rwanda, but Niger is still a
beautiful, wonderful country.
We love Niger in spite of environmental issues like overgrazing; soil
erosion; deforestation; desertification; wildlife populations (such as
elephant, hippopotamus, giraffe, and lion) which are threatened because of
poaching and habitat destruction.
Even though Niger is a poor, landlocked Sub-Saharan nation, whose economy
centers on subsistence agriculture, animal husbandry, and reexport trade,
and increasingly less on uranium, because of declining world demand, it
should not make Niger an object of hate.
I'll have you know the 50% devaluation of the West African franc in January
1994 boosted exports of livestock, cowpeas, onions, and the products of
Niger's small cotton industry.
True, the government relies on bilateral and multilateral aid - which was
suspended following the April 1999 coup d'etat - for operating expenses and
public investment. In 2000-01, the World Bank approved a structural
adjustment loan of $105 million to help support fiscal reforms.
However, reforms could prove difficult given the government's bleak
financial situation. The IMF approved a $73 million poverty reduction and
growth facility for Niger in 2000 and announced $115 million in debt relief
under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative. Further
disbursements of aid occurred in 2002. Future growth may be sustained by
exploitation of oil, gold, coal, and other mineral resources. But since
when has being poor meant you were unworthy of love?
Now who's ignorant? Now who's racist?)
