Nigerien authorities have ordered the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to leave the country, a decision made on January 31 but only communicated to the organization on Tuesday.
The government has not provided any official reasons for the expulsion, raising concerns over the future of humanitarian operations in Niger.
The ICRC has played a crucial role in assisting conflict-affected communities, providing medical aid, and supporting displaced populations.
Its departure could significantly impact humanitarian relief efforts, particularly in regions struggling with violence and insecurity.
