Zinder Mosque, a historic Niger landmark, has collapsed due to heavy rains.
The mosque was built around 1852 by Sultan Tanimoune Dan Souleymane. It is listed among the most visited mosques in the country, after the one in Agadez built in 1515.
The Zinder region, located in the southeast, is one of the most affected by the intense rainy season that has been hitting Niger since June.
