Bandabari is a neighborhood ( French : quartier ) in the Arrondissement Niamey III of the city of Niamey in Niger .
geography
Bandabari is located east of Niamey's historic city center. The surrounding districts are Couronne North in the northwest, Banifandou II in the northeast, Route Filingué in the southeast and Madina in the southwest. The district is located in a plateau with a sand layer more than 2.5 meters deep, which allows better infiltration than in other parts of the city.
The standard scheme for street names in Bandabari is rue MD 1 , where the French rue for street is followed by MD for Madina and finally a number. This goes back to a project to name streets in Niamey in 2002, in which the city was divided into 44 zones, each with its own letter abbreviations. These zones do not necessarily coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue MD 1 scheme is used not only in Madina but also in Bandabari.
history
Bandabari was created during a drought in the 1960s through immigration from the Zarma areas around the city. The place name comes from the Zarma language and means "turn your back". This indicates the inability to share food with relatives and friends. From its original character as a refugee settlement, there was soon nothing to be seen in Bandabari. With the division of Niamey into five districts in 1979, Bandabari became part of the 3rd district, which in 1989 with the 4th district in the sub-municipality Niamey II, which in turn was dissolved in 1996 in the previous form.
