The Region of Maradi is one of seven regions of Niger . It is located in south-central Niger, east of the Region of Tahoua , west of Zinder , and north of the Nigerian city of Katsina. The administrative centre is at Maradi . The population of the Region is predominantly Hausa .
History
[ edit ]
In 2021, a large gold mine collapse in the region killed 18 miners.[2]
Geography
[ edit ]
Maradi borders Agadez Region to the north, Zinder Region to the east, Nigeria to the south (specifically the states of Katsina , Zamfara and Sokoto ), and Tahoua Region to the west. Most of the 35,100 km²[3] of land is classified as "Sahel ", though the northern parts merge into the Sahara desert, and the very southern edges along the border with Nigeria get almost 600 mm a year in average rainfall, with some areas receiving as much as 650–700 mm in better years.[3] Lake Madarounfa lies to the south of Maradi, into which flow the seasonal Goulbi N'Gabi and Goulbi N'Maradi rivers.[4]
Settlements
[ edit ]
Maradi is the regional capital; other major settlements include Adjekoria , Aguie , Attantane , Azagor , Bader Goula , Baoudetta , Bermo , Birni Lalle , Chadakori , Dakoro , Dan-Goulbi , Djiratawa , El Allassane Maireyrey , Gababedji , Gabi , Gangara , Gazaoua , Guidan Amoumoune , Guidan Roumji , Guidan Sori , Hawandawaki , Issawane , Kanan-Bakache , Kollo , Koona , Korahane , Korgom , Kornaka , Madarounfa , Maiyara , Mar-Jirgui , Mayahi , Ourafane , Roumboui , Sabon-Machi , Safo , Sarkin Haoussa , Sarkin Yamma , Tagriss , Tchadoua , Tchake , Tessaoua and Tibiri .[5]

Economy

The Niger-Nigeria border dips south below the Region's capital, forming an area sometimes called the "breadbasket" of Niger.[citation needed ] While tobacco , mangoes , wheat , soy beans and even cotton are cultivated in some areas, the predominant crops are groundnuts , grown as a commercially, and millet , sorghum and cow peas , typically grown for domestic consumption.[4]
Demographics

Maradi is most densely populated region of Niger,[3] with a population of 3,117,810 as of 2011.[6] Culturally, Maradi Region forms the west central section of Nigerien Hausaland , which extends along the Nigerian border west to Dogondoutchi and east to just beyond Zinder . Other groups include the Fula people (including the Wodaabe , who predominate to the north and east of the region), and Tuareg peoples, especially in the north of the region and along major trade routes.[7] The Tagdal language, thought to be a mixed Songhay -Tuareg language, is also spoken.[7]
