	California Newsreel - ARLIT: DEUXIEME PARIS
		Arlit is a case study in environmental racism set in a uranium mining town in the Sahara desert of Niger.
		Arlit was alive 24 hours a day, with frequent international flights, nightlife, earning it the nickname, “le deuxiéme Paris.” Then came the collapse in uranium prices and the Tuareg rebellion against the central government in Niamey more than 500 miles to the southwest.
		Arlit became a shadow of its former self.

	Current Movie Reviews, Independent Movies - Film Threat
		In its heyday, Arlit was home to 25,000 miners and a thriving social environment that earned it the nickname “le deuxieme Paris” (the second Paris).
		What appears to be Arlit’s sole bar is open, but the two barmaids (immigrant ladies from Togo) sit idly at their posts — the establishment is out of liquor and they are waiting for their employer to return with a new inventory.
		The people of Arlit seem almost resigned to their cruel fate, yet some hold out the rare hope of a resurrection of both their own fortunes and the town’s viability.

	internationales forum des jungen films: Arlit, deuxième Paris (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		"Arlit" is the portrait of a desert frontier town and of old Issa, who is taking his last trip back to Arlit to visit his son and his friends from earlier.
		Arlit developed thanks to the uranium mines and immigration, and was once a flourishing oasis, the goal of adventurers and the crossroads of numerous travel routes.
		While I'm very aware of the naiveté of the Eldorado dreams of the Arlit illegal immigrants, I am also sensitive to the destinies of these men and women who left their families, their children and their loved ones in order to make this difficult, hazardous journey.

		So we pressed on - on to Arlit, where the French guys were going to sell their cars, take a cab to Niamey and get the hell outta there.
		The piste to Arlit was much easier, so we drove on until pretty late.
		In Arlit we stopped in front of one of the main Hotels and were immediately surrounded by kids asking if we wanted to sell the cars.

	Lonely Planet's Guide to Niger
		Arlit, the northernmost town in Niger, was constructed by companies hell-bent on extracting all the uranium they could get.
		Despite ignominious beginnings, it's grown into a dusty vibrant hustle of a town with a high-octane market where anything not nailed down is up for sale, or trade.
		If you've been in Algeria for a few weeks, where people are less than exuberant, you'll find the entrepreneurial openness and friendly atmosphere of the place a welcome change.

		Arlit travel guide - The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and what to see
		Arlit is a Saharan version of a boomtown: Uranium mines in the desert have given it a recently-thrown-together look and feel.
		Since Arlit is on the main road to Algeria, the town is quite a busy place (when the road is open at least, when it is closed you don't need to be here).

	Agadez-Arlit - The HUBB
		The road from the south to Timia is rough, particularly near the top of the rise near Timia, but I would think quite passable by motorbike.
		I didn't go as far north as Iferouane, or to Arlit.
		It is especially the trip from Iferouane to Arlit that "worries" me. Thanks for the hint about the oranges!
