It lies in the northern Kaouar escarpment, a north-south line of cliffs which form an isolated oasis in the Sahara desert. As of 2011, the commune had a total population of 14,998 people.[2] The town is just south of Séguédine, and around 90 km north of Departmental capital Bilma. While isolated in modern Niger, it once lay on the important central soudan route of the Trans-Saharan trade which linked coastal Libya and the Fezzan to the Kanem-Bornu Empire near Lake Chad. Its population is made up primarily of traditionally sedentary Kanuri people, as well as semi-nomadic Tuareg and Tubu people.[3][4] The Central Intelligence Agency operates a drone base near Dirkou.[5] TransportThe town is served by Dirkou Airport. It is on the route some migrants have taken from Niger to Libya.[6] References1. ^ {{Communes of Niger}}{{Niger-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.stat-niger.org/statistique/file/Annuaires_Statistiques/Annuaire_ins_2011/population.pdf|title=Annuaires_Statistiques|publisher=Institut National de la Statistique|accessdate=2 May 2013}} 3. ^{{Cite book|last=Decalo|first=Samuel|title=Historical Dictionary of the Niger (3rd ed.)|publisher=Scarecrow Press|location=Boston & Folkestone|year=1997|isbn=0-8108-3136-8}} 4. ^{{Cite book|last=Geels|first=Jolijn|title=Niger|publisher=Bradt UK / Globe Pequot Press|location=Chalfont St Peter, Bucks / Guilford, Connecticut|year=2006|isbn=978-1-84162-152-4}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14-JDZnhl0U |publisher=YouTube |author=The New York Times |title=How a C.I.A.
