Massigui

Massigui lies in the Banico country south of the upper Niger, within a landscape of savanna and farming villages. The wider district includes communities around Niantjila, towards Ganadougou to the south. Mande-speaking peoples have long inhabited this part of the western Sudan, cultivating the land under the seasonal rains. Routes across the region join the villages of Banico with the Niger valley and the more humid lands farther south.
