Geography
It lies on the main north-south highway, approximately 60 km north of Parakou, and is the location of a customs stop where all north/south commercial traffic on the RNIE-2 and RNIE-6 must stop for a customs check. The Sota River begins near N'Dali and flows north-north-east until it reaches the Niger River at Malanville.
It is also the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of N’Dali.

gollark: If you just doubled the number of people "involved in politics" by some loose definition by taking arbitrary random people, would this actually improve the political situation? I would be surprised if it did; I don't think most have some sort of unique original contribution, but just go for participating in shouting louder at other groups.
gollark: Possibly true but not very relevant.
gollark: You could probably argue that something something tragedy of the commons, but clearly there are a lot of people who do do politics and it is possible that adding more would actually worsen things.
gollark: Even if it is the case that if everyone ever ignored politics there would be problems, that doesn't mean that one person ignoring it is bad.
