The world is reeling under the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020, but there is one country on this planet where people are living their lives like the pre-COVID era. No one wears a mask anymore and sometimes weeks go without a single person testing positive for COVID-19. In May, Niger sent 100,000 AstraZeneca vaccines to Ivory Coast, a country that has approximately the same population as Niger with 24 million people. The country only posted just 194 deaths and less than 5,500 COVID-19 cases since the first cases were recorded in March 2020. The settlements across Niger have no connectivity and it is very difficult to travel within the country.
