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