Tintihigrene
kids in the village villager

Tintihigrene is a village of newly-settled nomadic people in the region of Gao. The village is made up of straw houses and mud houses. There are lots of grain stores, a mosque, a school and a cereal bank, which loans grain to people who need it, and lots of animals: sheep, goats, donkeys, camels, and cattle. The village is surrounded by dry bushland, fields of millet and sorghum, and sparse trees.
