The Tagdal live in extremely remote and difficult living conditions in Niger.  They are strict followers of Islam and have been opposed to any outside religions.  There are plans for Bible translation.  There are Gospel resources in both Hausa and Tamasheq.  This would be a very challenging task for an Engaging Church, but not impossible.
