1911 Encyclopedia Britannica says

By March 1899 Bilma was included in the French sphere of influence in West Africa. Turkey claimed the oasis as part of the hinterland of Tripoli and garrisoned Bilma in 1902. In 1906, however, a French force from Zinder occupied the town, no opposition being offered by the Ottoman authorities. In 1907 the oasis and surrounding district was created a circle of the Military Territory of the Niger (see SAHARA).

That's probably not suitable for inclusion in the History section unless it is extended to desribe changes since 1907. David Brooks (talk) 02:32, 7 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
