Ziniaré: The Minister of Youth for Niger, Colonel Major Abdourahamane Amadou, has called on the young people of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) to take responsibility for their future by actively participating in the socio-economic development of their countries. His remarks were made at the first summer university of the AES, held in Ziniaré, around 30 kilometers north of Ouagadougou.
