  Niamey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Niamey, population 665,918, is the capital of Niger and a capital of a department of Tilabery.
Niamey was probably founded in the eighteenth century, but was of little importance to most of the country until the French developed a colonial post in the 1890s.
In 1926 it became the capital of Niger, and the population gradually increased, from about 3,000 in 1930 to around 30,000 in 1960, 250,000 in 1980 and - by some estimates - 800,000 in 2000.

NIAMEY, Niger Aug 12, 2005 — When aid workers pack up after dealing with the hunger emergency in Niger and other nations along the Sahara, leaders will be left struggling to find lasting solutions to the chronic lack of food in much of Africa.

Niger doesn't have the financial resources to do it on its own," Sani said, adding that it costs $19,000 to irrigate just 2 1/2 acres of land.

NIAMEY, Niger (AP) -- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan was talking with aid officials in Niger's capital Wednesday about the logistics of distributing food, days after an aid group said the U.N. response to the hunger crisis here has been inadequate.
In the capital Wednesday, Annan was expected to question aid officials on the status of emergency distributions in Niger to help coordinate future aid to the desert nation, said Katy D. Thiam, a U.N. information officer in Niamey.
Niger's government and the United Nations started in November to issue aid appeals that were largely ignored, and top U.N. officials criticized donors for their failure to help.
