On Friday, the Indian authorities cited the unstable security situation in Niger and urged all Indian nationals to immediately depart the country.
The Indian government’s foreign ministry has urged its citizens to postpone any upcoming trips until conditions improve.
The Indian government is keeping a careful eye on the situation in Niger. Indian nationals whose continued presence in the country is not deemed necessary are urged to depart immediately in view of the current scenario.
It’s possible they’ll remember that the airspace is currently restricted. Maximum security measures can be taken when leaving over a land border. According to ANI, MEA spokesman Arindam Bagchi said.
To those thinking about visiting Niger in the near future, he continued, “Reconsider your trip until the situation normalises.”
Niger’s democratically elected president, Mohamed Bazoum, was taken into custody on July 26 as members of the presidential guard surrounded his home.
On national television, the mutinous troops, who name themselves the National Council for the Safeguarding of the Country, stated that they had taken power because of the nation’s failing security and terrible economic and social governance.
They declared that they had closed the borders and dissolved the government.
Niger analysts think the chief of the presidential guard, General Tchiani, orchestrated the coup attempt since he was about to be fired.
