France tells citizens to avoid going to Niger if possible

PARIS, Aug 12 (Reuters) - French citizens should avoid going
to Niger where possible, the French foreign ministry said on
Wednesday, after six French aid workers were shot dead in Niger
on Aug. 9. The foreign ministry said on its website that most of Niger
was deemed a "red" high-risk zone, apart from the capital Niamey
which was classified as a relatively lower-risk "orange" zone
but a city still to be avoided if possible.
Former colonial power France and other countries have warned
people against travelling to parts of Niger where militants
including Boko Haram and an affiliate of Islamic State operate
in rural areas much further from the capital than the reserve.
