history

Tondikiwindi was founded in the 19th century by Kallé , a subgroup of the Zarma who created several settlements in the region. The French colonial administration established a canton in Tondikiwindi at the beginning of the 20th century and recognized the local ruler Koureïzé Aliou as head of the canton.

Mangaïzé refugee camp (2013)

During a nationwide administrative reform in 2002, the rural communities of Tondikiwindi and Banibangou emerged from the dissolved canton of Tondikiwindi. During the hunger crisis in Niger in 2005, Tondikiwindi was one of the hardest hit places. Here the population had less than one meal a day available. As a result of the conflict in northern Mali , the Mangaïzé refugee camp was set up in May 2012 . In October 2013, over 7,000 people lived in the camp, mostly Tuareg from the Malian city ​​of Ménaka . Four soldiers from the United States Armed Forces and four soldiers from the Niger Armed Forces were killed in an ambush near Tongo Tongo in the municipality of Tondikiwindi on October 4, 2017 . The incident sparked controversy in the United States .

At the 2001 census, Tondikiwindi had 77,272 inhabitants. For 2010, 102,252 inhabitants were calculated.

99% of the population of Tondikiwindi were classified as poor or very poor in a 2011 study by the French non-governmental organization ACTED. More than 66% of the population had no access to latrines in the vicinity.
