Military outpost in Niger / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Palestinian village, see Madama, Nablus. For the play, see Madama Butterfly.
Madama is a border settlement on the northeast frontier of Niger. Little more than an army post, the settlement serves as a frontier station controlling travel between Niger and Libya. It is also the site of a former French colonial fort, built in 1931. The fort is now surrounded by barbed wire and a field of landmines.[1]
