Scenarios about 'Niger River'
The Niger River is the principal river of West Africa, flowing in a crescent shape through Guinea, Mali, Niger, Benin, and Nigeria before emptying into the Gulf of Guinea. As Africa's third-longest river, it has historically served as a vital transportation route, agricultural lifeline, and cultural boundary, supporting ancient civilizations like the Mali and Songhai Empires.
