The country can be roughly divided into three zones : the north, center, and the south. The northern zone, covering about two thirds of the surface area, is located within the Sahara. It is an elevated region formed by plateaus and mountains, and with the exception of some isolated oasis, vegetation is rare. The center is part of the Sahel (the Ténéré region). It is a semi-arid region with few trees. The south is the only fertile and wooded region and where it rains enough for food crop farming without irrigation. The southwest is characterized by periodic floods of the River Niger. The climate of Niger is hot, and in most areas, dry and annual precipitation hardly reaches 160 mm, During the two or three months of the rainy season (July-September), it reaches 600 mm north of Niamey, in the Sahel region. In the south, the humid season lasts from June to October and annual rainfall can exceed 800 mm. The annual average temperature in Niamey is 29 degrees centigrade.

About the ICRC ICRC Activities The ICRC worldwide Focus ... Annual Report Annual Report Abijan, regional delegation (Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Niger, Sierra Leone) IN 1994 THE ICRC: - provided 120,000 people affected by the conflict with around 7,500 tonnes of food; - provided logistic support for the Liberia relief operation, forwarding over 7,000 tonnes of food. Introduction The devastating armed conflict in Liberia had a strong influence on the surrounding region in 1994 and remained inextricably linked to the generalized violence and insecurity that prevailed in neighbouring Sierra Leone. The tribal make-up of the region, the shared supply routes through dense rain forests, a multitude of shifting political allegiances, a common economy based on precious stones and minerals, and an intricate mafia-style web of cross-border trade were the principal factors linking the whole region, especially the area from eastern Sierra Leone through the forest region of Guinea and into Liberia. The tragic result of this volatile situation was that the entire region was submerged in an atmosphere of extreme violence and terror. In the Sierra Leone/Guinea/Liberia triangle the civilian population lived in a permanent state of fear, the authorities held no sway whatsoever and international humanitarian organizations were unable to work. In August 1993 two ICRC nurses were brutally executed in south-eastern Sierra Leone. From that point on, and through the whole of 1994, relief activities remained suspended, as the danger of entering territory where no authority was apparently in control and where foreigners were seen as a threat was too great. This situation placed the ICRC in a dilemma, as there were hundreds of thousands of civilians in the area in dire need of protection and assistance.
