Not all countries have english names. Some are french.

The modern spelling Niger was first recorded by Berber scholar Leo Africanus in 1550, possibly derived from the Tuareg phrase gher-n-gheren meaning "river of rivers". There is broad consensus among linguists that it does not derive from the Latin niger ("black") as was first erroneously believed.

Thank you for that information. Unfortunately "Niger" is just another Niger town run by Nigers.

Then it should be of no concern to rich white fat fucks like Nuland
