Tibiri (also: Tbiri ) is a rural community and the capital of the Tibiri department of the same name in Niger .

geography

Tibiri is located in the greater Sudan landscape and borders the neighboring state of Nigeria in the east . The neighboring communities in Niger are Koré Maïroua in the north, Douméga in the southeast, Guéchémé in the southwest and Tombokoirey II in the west. The municipality is divided into 37 administrative villages, 88 traditional villages and 31 hamlets. The main town of the rural community is the administrative village of Tibiri.

The large, periodically water-bearing dry valley Dallol Maouri runs through the municipality in a north-south direction .

history

Tibiri was founded by Samna Karhé, who ruled there from 1849 to 1872. Born around 1817, Samna Karhé came from the ruling families of the villages of Lougou and Bagaji, which later belonged to the Matankari community . Tibiri formed a province of Aréoua , the empire of the Maouri, a subgroup of the Hausa . Alissina, the ruler of Aréoua who ruled from 1849 to 1861 and resided in Matankari, went on raids to Tibiri. Tibiri called the neighboring kingdom of Kebbi for help and Alissina was defeated and killed by Tibiri and Kebbi together in the battle.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Tibiri came under French rule. The French established a canton in Tibiri, to which the dissolved Douméga canton was attached in 1935. As the eleventh traditional ruler ( chef traditionnel ) in the line of the founder Samna Karhé, Marafa Kiassa became local chief of Tibiri in 1980. The rural community of Tibiri emerged in 2002 as part of a nationwide administrative reform from the canton of Tibiri, whose territory was divided into the rural communities of Tibiri, Douméga and Koré Maïroua. Since 2011, these rural communities no longer belong to the Dogondoutchi department , but to the newly created Tibiri department.

population

At the 2001 census, Tibiri had 54,582 residents. At the 2012 census, the population was 77,558.

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 national road 3 runs through Tibiri and connects the place with the neighboring communities of Guéchémé and Koré Maïroua.
