Diffa Arabs (Arabic: عرب الديفا) is the Nigerien name given to a number of Arab nomadic tribes people living in eastern Niger, mostly in the Diffa Region.
Although a minority in country, they are now responsible for more than 60% of Niger's industries and 90% of its transport. Most bus lines that are linked to West Africa are also owned by them.[1]
