history

The area of ​​Guéchémé was a small principality called Takassaba from the 18th century. It was ruled by Maouri, a subgroup of the Hausa . The founder of Takassaba was a Maouri named Babba. One of his successors was Kiassa, who ruled from 1798 to 1828. He managed to expand his dominion to other villages, including Bana , Dioundiou and Yélou . Soon after his death, however, his empire fell apart again. In the 19th century there were changing seats in Takassaba. These included the present-day villages of Guéchémé and Bey-Bey, which is named after its founder, Bey-Bey. From 1894 to 1917 Soumana was the ruler of Takassaba. He saw the arrival of the French colonial rulers.

France established a canton called Takassaba in 1934 . In 1975 Guéchémé was designated the capital of this canton. The rural community of Guéchémé emerged from the canton of Takassaba / Guéchémé in 2002 as part of a state-wide administrative reform. During the floods in 2008, 238 residents were classified as victims. Since 2011, the rural community no longer belongs to the Dogondoutchi department , but to the newly created Tibiri department.

population

At the 2001 census, Guéchémé had 88,083 inhabitants. At the 2012 census, the population was 108,778.

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 .

National road 3 runs through Guéchémé and connects the village with the neighboring communities of Karguibangou and Tibiri.
