Hama Amadou, Niger's longest-serving prime minister, navigated a tumultuous political landscape marked by imprisonment and exile, ultimately passing away due to malaria.
His career spanned decades of political upheaval, during which he faced multiple imprisonments on various charges, including embezzlement and a bizarre baby-trafficking claim.
Nicknamed the Phoenix, Amadou consistently returned to prominence in Niger's politics, founding a significant political party and maintaining a strong connection with the populace of Niger.
Despite the poverty and challenges in Niger, he rallied support through a brand of nationalism infused with storytelling from the griot tradition, emphasizing self-sufficiency.
