Niger: Activists plan to stage a demonstration march in Agadez starting at 08:00 April 21
Activists call for a protest march from Place de la Concorde to Place du Citizen in Agadez, Niger, 08:00 April 21. Tight security likely.
Activists associated with a collective of civil society organizations plan to stage a demonstration march in Agadez starting at 08:00 on April 21. The purpose of the protest action is to demand the departure of US military forces from the country. Participants will gather from Place de la Concorde before marching to Place du Citizen. It remains unknown how many participants the event may draw.
Heightened security, as well as transport and business disruptions, are likely in affected areas. Clashes between protesters and security forces cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Keep away from areas where crowds appear to be forming or security personnel are deploying. If clashes break out nearby, leave the area immediately and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building. Heed the instructions of local authorities.
