Dao Timmi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dao Timmi is an old military installation located in the Djado Plateau of northern Niger.^[1]^[2]

During an uprising by ethnic Toubou people during the 1990s, a minefield was installed.^[1]

In response to crackdowns on human traffickers by the government of Niger in response to the European migrant crisis, Dao Timmi became an increasingly popular route, as an alternative to Agadez.^[1] It is the site of rock art.^[3]
