Security in Niger (Agadez)
Travel in Niger, particularly north and east of Agadez was difficult/impossible due to the Tuareg rebellion 12 - 24 months ago. I have not heard of particular troubles in this area over the last year or so. (No news is sometimes good news) Has the situation quietened down? -Or are there still strict travel restrictions?
Are police escorts still required for travel (for example from Agadez to Arlit) ? Is it possible to travel from Agadez to Dirkou and Bilma? Is Iferouane still a no-go zone?
Any general information about the current travel situation in Niger would be much appreciated. Thankyou.
