Niger: Anti-government Demonstration in Niamey on 15 December

Turn the Page (TLP), a civil society organization, has called for a rally on 15 December at 09:00 (local time) from Place Toumo to Place de la Concertation in Niamey to protest against the summon of the Heads of State of the G5-Sahel countries by the French President Emmanuel Macron on 16 December. The protest is also against the presence of foreign troops in the nation.

Advice

Increased security presence and large gatherings are expected. Travellers should avoid any protests sites to minimize inconvenience and safety risk. Even events intended to be peaceful can escalate unexpectedly and quickly become violent.
