FEATURE: Niger River has fewer fish, more militants AFP, MOPTI, Mali Ousmane Djebare Djenepo, wearing sunglasses and an easy smile, stands upright to show off the mighty Niger River, which is flowing around his traditional wooden canoe, or pirogue. The 76-year-old Malian is one of tens of thousands of fishers who make a living from the river and the verdant wetlands that surround it. However, Djenepo’s smile hides unease. “Before, the river was deep and the fishing seasons long,” said Djenepo, head of the federation of fishers of the Niger River’s inner delta. “Now there are far fewer fish and the river has too many problems.”

Struggle for Mali s masters of the waters

Struggle for Mali s masters of the waters AFP 3 hrs ago © MICHELE CATTANI Boats along the Bani river in Mopti, situated in the Inner Niger Delta Members of Mali s nomadic Bozo ethnic group, who dominate the fish trade on the Niger River, are increasingly settling in towns in the face of insecurity in the Sahel. There are hundreds of ethnic groups in the semi-arid African region, but the Bozo people have traditionally occupied a specific niche. Along with the Somonos, they were long the only people to navigate the Niger where it flows through the Sahel. We were the masters of the waters, said Ousmane Djebare Djenepo, a Bozo who heads the fishermen s federation in the inner delta of the Niger River, in central Mali.
