Birni Njimi, also called '''N'Jimi, N'jimi, and Anjimi''', was the capital of the Kanem–Bornu Empire until the 14th century. Njimi is first recorded in texts from the 12th century but was probably the empire's original capital, perhaps established as early as the 8th century. Njimi was located in the Kanem region in modern-day Chad, east of Lake Chad, but its precise location has yet to be securely identified.

== History == The early history of Njimi is unknown. Towns in Kanem are first mentioned in external sources in the 12th century, when al-Idrisi records the two towns of Njimi and Manan. Al-Idrisi suggests that Manan was the seat of the ruler (mai), whereas Njimi was a smaller town further south. It is however clear from other sources that Njimi was, at least later on, Kanem's capital.
