Niger : Foreign Office Advice
The U.K. Foreign Office has recently changed its advice for Niger. It now says :-
"We advise against all travel to the Air Massif, Tenere and Kaouar regions, due to recent clashes between the Nigerien security forces and armed groups. It is possible, however, to travel north from Agadez as far as the tree of Tenere and south as far as the Termit Massif"
Can anyone shed any light on why they have taken such a strong line? French advice,which was updated last week, seems to be more relaxed.
We are planning to go from Libya to Bilma and then on to Agadez, so it would be nice to know what is going on.
