Kombo is a neighborhood ( French : quartier ) in the Arrondissement Niamey II of the city of Niamey in Niger .
geography
Kombo is located in downtown Niamey on the entrance to the Kennedy Bridge over the Niger River . The district is home to important public facilities, including the Niamey City Hall, the Nigerien National Museum and the Congress Palace. The neighboring districts are Zongo in the north, Maourey in the northeast, Terminus in the east and the site of the Niamey National Hospital in the west.
Kombo is located at the mouth of the Gounti Yéna dry valley in the Niger River. The bank zones of both bodies of water consist of alluvial soils with a high groundwater level that does not allow infiltration. The rest of the area of the district lies in a table land with a layer of sand more than 2.5 meters deep. Kombo is often at risk from Niger floods. The part of the district east of Gounti Yéna is counted as part of the Niamey-Bas district.

The district goes back to the French colonial era, which lasted until 1960. During the flood disaster of 2010 , which hit Niamey on the night of August 5th to 6th, Kombo was one of the districts hardest hit along with Karadjé , Kossey , Lamordé and Zarmagandey . Two houses in Kombo were flooded and four more were declared in danger of collapse.
population
At the 2012 census, Kombo had 2,069 residents who lived in 334 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 3,259 in 524 households.
