Timbedra

Timbedra lies in the Hodh, a broad basin at the southern edge of the Sahara. The country combines dry plains with seasonal pasture, used by herders moving between wells and grazing grounds. Farming settlements occupy places where the rains and soil permit cultivation. To the northeast the old caravan town of Walata linked this Sahelian region with routes across the desert, while communities farther south maintained connections with the western Sudan.
