Siguiri (N’ko: ߛߌ߯ߙߌ߲߫; Arabic: سِجِرِ ِ) is a city in northeastern Guinea on the River Niger. It is a sub-prefecture and capital of Siguiri Prefecture in the Kankan Region.[4]

It is known for its goldsmiths and as the birthplace of Sekouba Bambino Diabaté. Siguiri is the site of a former French fort built in 1888, and the Siguiri Airport.

Etymology

'Sigui' means 'buffalo' and 'ri' means place, a name given to the area due to its dense brush and abundant population of wild animals.[2]

History

Siguiri in the early 20th century

Siguiri has been an important center since the time of Sundiata Keita.[5] Some oral traditions have Sundiata's oldest son, Nyamagan, settling and ruling there.[6] The town moved several times, on both sides of the river, due to flooding and the search for richer agricultural land on the banks of the Niger.[2]

Mining

Geologic map of the Siguiri area, where X is Paleoproterozoic and Z is Neoproterozoic.

Placer gold is mined here.[7] North and northwest of Siguiri, and along the Tinkisso River, is the Bouré region. This region replaced Bambouk as a major gold producer in the 11th-12th centuries.

Climate

Siguiri has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification Aw).
