The enclaves of Forcados and Badjibo were two territories close to the river Niger, in modern Nigeria, leased to France by the United Kingdom under the Anglo-French Convention of 1898. They were obtained by France after several expeditions along the Niger, by (1894), (1898–99), (1895 and 1899-1900), and (1901–02, etc.). France wanted to determine whether its colonies in French Sudan could more easily be supplied upstream along the Niger rather than via the traditional Dakar route.

  • Les enclaves de Forcados et de Badjibo étaient deux terrains situés à proximité du fleuve Niger, dans l’actuel Nigeria, et concédés à bail à la France par le gouvernement britannique au début du XXe siècle. Elles ont été obtenues par la France après plusieurs missions de reconnaissance et de pénétration sur le Niger (Mission Hourst 1894, Granderye 1898-99, Toutée 1895 et 1899-1900, Lenfant 1901-02, etc.). La France cherchait alors à déterminer s'il était possible de ravitailler ses colonies du Soudan français par navigation sur le bas Niger, plutôt que par le Sénégal qui représentait la voie d'accès traditionnelle.
