Niamey

Özgür Çınar, Niger ambassador to Türkiye, has stated that the West African country, where the military junta seized power on July 26, is not currently the scene of an active conflict or clash, but quite intense waiting and uncertainty prevails.

The United States on Wednesday ordered a partial evacuation of its embassy in Niger, the State Department said, a week after the fragile nation was rocked by a coup.

"On August 2, 2023, the Department ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees and eligible family members from Embassy Niamey," an updated US travel advisory for Niger said.
