Sabara Bangou is a village in the north of the rural commune (municipality) of Tondikiwindi (also Tondi Kiwindi), Ouallam Department, Tillabéri Region in southwestern Niger, 180 km north of the nation's capital Niamey and 22 km south of the border with Mali.

The area is part of the Sahel and consists of a vast expanse of plateaux and hills.

The physical environment is in an advanced state of degradation caused by habitat destruction, poaching, and by the viccisitudes of the local climate.

[4] In March 2017 the Government of Niger declared a state of emergency in the Ouallam Department[5] (and thus in Sabara Bangou) because of the spill-over from the war in nearby Mali, where large areas are under the control of jihadist groups linked to Al-Qaeda.

[6] The U.S. military has been operating in that area with local forces to help them fight terrorism and to disrupt the militants' movements.
