WSJ reporter @drew.hinshaw rode along with a group of human traffickers transporting immigrants across the Sahara into Libya. He's been telling the story on Instagram - follow him for more photos and check out the link in our profile for his full story.
Drew writes: "Tourists used to ride trucks out into this part of the Sahara, in the north of Niger, and camp – there's even a vast sea of dinosaur fossils lying in the sand out here. But tourists don't come around anymore – al Qaeda kidnappers scared them away – and the truck you're seeing here is full of migrants bound for Libya. It's about the only group of foreigners you'll still see in these parts. Some 150,000 Africans will cross through this area this year, en route to the Mediterranean – it's great money for drivers. By comparison, sightseeing has died. While photographer @mkcoursin was taking this picture, I visited the local tourism board in Niger's city of Agadez. This year, they'd seen just one tourist: An Italian, who they ordered to travel with a military escort. Amazingly, everybody still shows up at the tourism board for work every day: the tourism director, his secretary, a security guard, a janitor, and a historian were all there when I dropped in. They just hang around, it seems. The secretary sits behind a switched-off computer shrouded in a dust cover. The historian drinks tea. 'It was a dream destination,' said Abdou Haruna, the director of tourism for the city. But, he added: 'We've been living through a crisis – a crisis of insecurity. All of that has taken a heavy toll on our tourism.'" (?: @mkcoursin)
