history

Wacha was built in 1836 under Djibril Dodo, whom the Sultan of Zinder had appointed as Sossébaki ruler, as a mansion. The Hausa dynasty of the Sossébaki traced their rule, which had existed for several centuries, to a prince from Bornu . Two other Sossébaki states were in Mirriah and Takey . For reasons of age, Djibril Dodo was replaced as ruler of Wacha by his son Mohamed in 1864. Mohamed went to war against Kano for Zinder , but was deposed in 1878 by Sultan Ténimoun dan Sélimane . Subsequently, depending on the will of the ruling Sultan von Zinder, Mohamed's sons Harouna and Yacoubou were alternately the rulers of Wacha.

The place fell to France at the beginning of the 20th century . The Wacha market was one of the major markets in the region approved by the French administration at the time.

The rural community of Wacha emerged from the canton of Ouacha in 2002 as part of a nationwide administrative reform.
