AFP, 01 Nov 2022

Their new school is situated in Oullam, a town in southwestern Niger that has been plagued by jihadist violence for the past five years. Coming from villages close to the Malian border, in the so-called "Three Borders" zone, these displaced young people can now go back to school thanks to a programme that groups them in large school centres.
