It's Single family homes. It would be nice to get some more photos of that particular neighborhood. Both properties to the left and right are being worked on, the garden beams are in place, the balcony is looking good. I could imagine how that hood would look like when it's finished.

strictly speaking this isn't that interesting of a city. however, some people (like me) with an appreciation for it will find it interesting.

Great pics.

But to be honest, that could be any other large city in Africa, it really isn't a unique place.

i want to revive this thread because frankly, i have never seen many african cities like this and i am just delighted to see africa in a new angle. i expected a lot worse but usually, my expectations were beaten, i hope NIger becomes wealthier soon, I hear it has one of the lowest HDI's in the world
