Je suis arrive! I made it to Niamey! My luggage wasn't quite as fortunate as I, but hopefully it will arrive with the next flight on Friday. When I got in yesterday, I met up with the video team: a journeyman from Thailand, and a freelancer from Texas. Because of safety issues, I wasn't able to go with them to cover the Tuareg festival in Kirasali today, but on Tuesday we'll travel together to another Tuareg village, where I'll cover a story on a journeyman who is working with famine relief. Tomorrow, I'll be traveling to a Songhai village, covering a story involving a medical clinic there. I'll keep you updated in later posts, but for now, since my power supply was in my checked bag, I better save my battery.
