Soum
8.0
Lower score (below 6)
Ultra-remote Sahel county where most residents are nomadic pastoralists with minimal settled infrastructure. French is barely spoken outside tiny administrative centers; local Tamasheq and Songhai dominate. The region is water-scarce, intensely hot, and increasingly unstable — not a place foreign governments recommend civilians visit.
