Dao Timmi is an old military installation located in the Djado Plateau of northern Niger. [1] [2]
During an uprising by ethnic Toubou people during the 1990s, a minefield was installed. [1]
In response to crackdowns on human traffickers by the government of Niger in response to the European migrant crisis, Dao Timmi became an increasingly popular route, as an alternative to Agadez. [1] It is the site of rock art. [3]
