Doguérawa (also: Doguéraoua ) is a rural community in the Malbaza department in Niger .

geography

Doguérawa is located at the transition from the Sudan to the Sahel zone and borders the neighboring state of Nigeria in the south . The neighboring communities in Niger are Malbaza in the west, Badaguichiri in the north, Tama in the northeast, Galma Koudawatché in the east and Sabon-Guida in the southeast. There are 46 villages, 43 hamlets and four camps in the municipality. The main town of the rural municipality is the village of Doguérawa. Other larger villages in the municipality are Galmi , Gounfara and Kawara . The dry valley Maggia runs through the municipality .

history

The French colonial administration established a canton in Doguérawa at the beginning of the 20th century , the first canton of which was Ibrahim el Dassouki, the former Sultan of Agadez who was deposed in favor of his son . In 1964, the canton of Doguérawa was added to the newly created arrondissement (and later department) Birni-N'Konni and also received the status of an administrative post ( poste administratif ) in the area of ​​the arrondissement. In 1973 the administrative post was moved to Malbaza-Usine, the industrial suburb of the neighboring municipality of Malbaza. The rural community of Doguérawa emerged from the canton of Doguérawa in 2002 as part of a nationwide administrative reform, from which Malbaza was detached as an independent rural community. Since 2011, the rural community no longer belongs to the Birni-N'Konni department, but to the newly created Malbaza department.

population

At the 2001 census, Doguérawa had 83,794 inhabitants. At the 2012 census, the population was 117,975.

Economy and Infrastructure

The community is located in the narrow zone along the border with Nigeria, which extends from Tounouga in the west to Malawa in the east and is used in irrigation farming for cash crops . The Kawara Dam and the Mouléla Dam were built in the 1960s, the Guidan Magagi Dam in the 1970s and the Guidan Kodidi Dam in the 1980s .

In the village of Galmi there is an important market for onions, which are sold as far as Niamey , Burkina Faso , Nigeria and the Ivory Coast . Violet de Galmi , first bred in 1975, is one of the most famous onion varieties in West Africa. Doguérawa is on National Road 1 , which is part of the international Dakar-N'Djamena Highway .
