The military-led government in Niger has ordered the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to leave the country immediately, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Reports indicate that Niger has revoked agreements with the ICRC, prompting some foreign staff members to begin leaving the country.
Local news outlet Air Info confirmed that the government issued a verbal directive to shut down all ICRC offices and for foreign staff to depart without delay.
The reason behind this decision remains unclear, and the ICRC has yet to issue an official response. The move comes amid growing tensions between the ruling junta and international organizations.
