Contribution long abstract

I provide observations on two individuals in Niger who live in their communities. The cases provide insights into the factors that determine the success/failure of community. This gives rise to the idea that community is a rather instable form of sociality that can neither be created by will nor provide the blueprint for solving the problems of society.
