Filingué is a town in southwestern Niger and is the capital city of Filingué Department and Kourfeye[1]. It is situated on the eastern bank of the Dallol Bosso valley, some 183 km northeast of Niger's capital city Niamey.
Abdourahamane Tchiani, a president of Niger, hails from Filingué.[2]
As pools of stagnant water remain in this valley in the dry season there's a lot of mudbrick making.
