Substantial progress is being seen with Niger’s stretch of the Trans-Sahara Highway (TSH). Around 1,890km of the planned alignment in Niger has been built, with around 60km still to be constructed. Poor weather has delayed some of the progress however, with additional work being required. Surfacing work is still being carried out while most of the markings and traffic control systems have yet to be installed.

Much of the financial backing for the 9,400km Trans-Sahara Highway has been provided by the African Development Bank (AfDB). Other donors include IDB, BADEA, BDEAC, KFAED, SFD, OFID and the three Governments of Algeria, Niger and Chad. The route links Nigeria’s commercial centre Lagos with the Algerian capital, Algiers.

The project is of key commercial and economic importance for the North African and West African regions. It will be of particular economic importance for Niger as well as Mali, which are amongst the world’s poorest nations.

According to the AfDB, the TSH links six countries belonging to three out of the eight Regional Economic Communities (RECs) of the African Union, namely: Algeria and Tunisia (AMU), Mali, Niger, Nigeria (ECOWAS) and Chad (ECCAS). It comprises the main road running from Algiers to Lagos via Zinder in Niger, and three secondary roads branching from this major road. These are the Tunisian section (Ghardaia-Gabes), the Malian section (Tit-Kidal-Gao-Bamako) and the Chadian section (Zinder-Nguigmi-Daboua-Ngouri-Massakory-Ndjamena).

All users of the Trans-Sahara Road will directly or indirectly benefit from economic and social benefits. The region it will most benefit comprises 32 regions, 74 built-up areas, spans an area of 4.4 million km² and has a population of 60 million inhabitants shared between Algeria, Tunisia, Mali, Niger, Chad and Nigeria.

Who We Are

Hope JZR, founder of the site and also owner of the eponymous YouTube channel, has gathered around his project a team of volunteers from the national territory and the diaspora with profiles as diverse as they are varied, a circle of patriots that only holds, to you and your enthusiasm to expand. Indeed, we invite you, all compatriots with a positive and constructive mindset to join us, through your contributions, in this adventure of defense and construction of a new Algeria.

What We Do

We work continuously and scrupulously to provide the public with reliable, objective and eminently positive information. Faithful to the founder’s credo of “sowing hope”, our ambition is to create an enthusiastic dynamic (without pouring into euphoria), federating competencies in the service of their homeland. Our publications, as you will notice, will always highlight positive performances and achievements in different fields, and also reflect our critics whenever we see problems affecting the lives of our fellow citizens, providing adequate solutions or calling for our elites to help solve them.

Our Mission

Our unique goal is to make this platform the first in Algeria to be devoted exclusively to positive information that sows hope among our youth and entice them to participate in the development of our country. The building of this new Algeria of which we dream and to which we aspire will be a collective work of all citizens jealous of the greatness of their nation and its influence. It will be the guarantor of the preservation of its independence and sovereignty and will honor the legacy and sacrifice of our valiant Chouhadas.
