sh-n-1098
The young boy named Mamasani was five years old, and at the time that Doctor Zhong went to see what he was doing, he was helping to cook the food for his mother. Mamasani was the son of Mr Mosa, the Entrance Guard for the site where the Chinese Doctors in Africa lived during their stay in this Niger town. Mr Mosa had seven children and Mamasani had one younger brother and one younger sister, but his mother Madam Mosa was pregnant at the time so he would soon have another younger sibling.
The Mosa family lived in a small house at the entrance to the Doctors' enclosure, and Madam Mosa was always busy, looking after her children, cooking and washing . When Doctor Zhong saw Mamasani cooking, he went out to help him, and he knew from the smell that Mamasani was cooking maize, one of Doctor Zhong's favourite foods. He asked Mamasani if he would give him some of the food to eat, and Mamasani said, ''Of course, of course Zhong!'', spoken with a great deal of feeling and sincerity !

Niger
While most of what is now Niger has been subsumed into the inhospitable Sahara desert in the last two thousand years, five thousand years ago the north of the country was fertile grasslands. Populations of pastoralists have left paintings of abundant wildlife, domesticated animals, chariots, and a complex culture that dates back to at least 10,000 BCE.
One of the first empires in what is now Niger was the Songhai Empire. During recent centuries, the nomadic Tuareg formed large confederations, pushed southward, and, siding with various Hausa states, clashed with the Fulani Empire of Sokoto, which had gained control of much of the Hausa territory in the late 18th century.
