Whakaotihia te rerenga kōrero e whai ake nei: I te tekau tau atu i 1880, i kaha te whakataetae i waenganui i ngā mana Pākehā mō ngā rohe i Awherika, he tukanga e mōhiotia ana ko te Whakataetae mo Awherika. I mutu te tukanga i te Huihuinga o Berlin o 1884, i reira i whakaae ai nga iwi Pakeha e pa ana ki o raatau kereme whenua me nga ture o nga whakaeke i muri mai. I te mutunga o tenei ka whakahaerehia e Parani te raorao o runga o te awa o Niger (he rite ki nga rohe o Mali me Niger hou). Kua oti kē i a Wīwī
I riro i a ia te nuinga o te raki o Algeria i te wa o te 1830-47, i whakauruhia hei waahanga nui o Parani. I noho a Parani ki te rohe o Niger hou i te tau 1900, i kii he rohe hoia, i whakahaerehia i te timatanga mai i Zinder. I whakauruhia a Niger, me Mali me Burkina Faso hou, i roto i te koroni o Upper Senegal me Niger, heoi i wehea atu i te 1911 ka noho hei waahanga o te koroni federal o French West Africa ("Afrique occidentale française", AOF i whakarapopototia). I te wa ano i Algeria France i akiaki ki te tonga mai i te rohe takutai moana, i te wikitoria i te nuinga o te Sahara Algerian i te 1902. Ko te rohe i waenga i te French West Africa me French Algeria (ara ko nga rohe o Algeria inaianei me Mauritania, Mali me Niger) i whakaaetia i te 7 o Hune 1905 e te Kaihauturu o Upper Senegal me Niger me te Kaihauturu o te Tari de l'Oasis i roto i te French Algeria. I tautuhia anō te rohe e te Kawenata o Niamey o Hune 1909.
