Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) operates an ambulatory center in Jibia.〔 〕 ==History== Abu Kassim, a researcher on the history of Jibia, wrote that the origins of Jibia date back to the wars of conquest between the rulers of Maradi and Katsina over territoriality and religion, especially after the jihad of Usman Bin Fodiyo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jibia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
