On July 26, a coup took place in Niger, in which President Bazoum was ousted and detained by his own guard, led by General Abdourahamane Tchiani. In response to the developments in Niger, the regional economic bloc ECOWAS imposed a package of sanctions and closed its borders with the landlocked nation.
The government of Niger, currently run by the military after a coup, announced on Thursday that the work of international organizations and UN agencies is prohibited in the areas of military operations.
"Due to the current security situation and the ongoing implementation of the tasks set by the armed forces of Niger, the Ministry of Internal Affairs informs international organizations, national and international NGOs and UN agencies present in Niger that their activities and movements in the areas of [military] operations are temporarily suspended," the Nigerien Ministry of the Interior said in a statement, cited by AFP.
The statement did not specify which districts of the country the decree concerns.
