Mir

Mir lies in the dry country north of Foulatari, on the southern fringe of the Sahara. Rain is scarce in this part of the Manga country, where the settlement stands among the desert approaches north of the Komadugu Yobe. An old caravan route passed through Mir and Shirmalek between Gouré and N'Guigmi, connecting the lands west of Lake Chad with settlements farther east.
