Téra

Téra lies in Liptako west of the Niger, near the Dargol, a seasonal tributary of the great river. Its name comes from the Gourmanché language and means frog. Songhai-Zarma, Gourmantché, Fulbe and Tuareg communities inhabit the wider country, where farming and herding share the dry Sahelian landscape. The Dargol flows during the rains towards the Niger, while pools and pasture support life through the changing seasons.
