A landmark trial has begun against the oil giant Chevron. A San Francisco district court is hearing a case brought by Nigerian plaintiffs who accuse Chevron of recruiting and supplying Nigerian military forces involved in the May 1998 shooting and killing of protesters in the oil-rich Niger Delta. The protesters were occupying a Chevron-owned oil platform called the Parabe, demanding jobs and compensation for environmental damage to their communities.


After a long drive through northern Niger’s arid landscape, a minivan pulls up in the remote desert oasis of Azzel. This evening, the van is bringing not supplies, but entertainment and education through a makeshift open air cinema. The “cinema on wheels” has arrived.


The contents of this blog do not reflect the opinions of the US government or Peace Corps. Because of that it should be kind of fun to read.

Swirls of cloud and the west face of the minaret of the Grande Mosquee of Agadez catch the light of the setting sun. A symbol of Niger's north and arguably the country's most recognizable landmark, the minaret is a classic example of the Sudanese style of architecture, prevelant across much of Saharan Africa. You can read more about it here.
