course
The river has its source in Mali and flows through Burkina Faso and Niger . It is around 140 kilometers long and only carries water for around four to six months a year. During this time, however, it is very important for the local population and the livestock industry. The settlements of Fadar-Fadar and Tin-Akoff are on the banks of the Béli .
In some sources the Béli is also referred to as the main river and the Gorouol as its tributary.
