N'Guigmi

N'Guigmi lies near the northwestern shores of Lake Chad, at the end of the Dilia Bosso valley descending from the Termit country. It has been a centre of Kanuri fishing communities and a meeting place for the salt trade from the Kawar oases. An old caravan route also linked N'Guigmi with Gouré to the west, passing through Mir and Shirmalek across the dry country north of the Komadugu Yobe.
