Crime

We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution because of high levels of serious crime. Pay close attention to your personal security at all times and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.

Foreigners are frequently targeted by criminals. Armed home invasions, kidnapping, carjackings and muggings occur and four-wheel-drive vehicles are a particular target for thieves. Petty crime is high in the capital city, Niamey, and muggings are common around the Gaweye Hotel, the National Museum, Kennedy Bridge and Petit Marche. Criminal activity throughout Niger increases at night.

Armed banditry also occurs in the northern and eastern regions, particularly on roads between major cities such as Agadez, Arlit and Tahoua, and on the Agadez-Timia road. Several roads in the north are closed to tourists except with special authorisation. If travelling from Niger to Mali via Burkina Faso, travellers are advised to avoid the Ayorou Gao Road as banditry is a problem. It is also a problem on the road between the Burkina Faso border and the town of Torodi in the Department of Niamey.

Borders with Algeria, Libya, Mali, Chad, Nigeria: We strongly advise you not to travel to the border areas with Algeria, Libya, Mali, Chad and Nigeria, including the Azawagh area between the Malian and Algerian borders, because of the risk of armed banditry and the activities of armed extremist groups.

Air Massif, Tenere, Kaouar regions in central Niger: We also strongly advise you not to travel to the Air Massif, Tenere and the Kaouar regions in central Niger because of the risk of clashes between Nigerian security forces and armed groups. Tourists have been targeted by armed robbers in these areas.

Politics of Niger takes place in a framework of a semi-presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President of Niger is head of state and the Prime Minister of Niger head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the National Assembly. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature.

The current legislature elected in December 2004 contains seven political parties. President Mamadou Tandja was re-elected in December 2004 and reappointed Hama Amadou as Prime Minister. Mahamane Ousmane, the head of the CDS, was re-elected President of the National Assembly (parliament) by his peers. The new second term government of the Fifth Republic took office on 30 December 2002. In August 2002, serious unrest within the military occurred in Niamey, Diffa, and Nguigmi, but the government was able to restore order within several days.

Constitution

The constitution of December 1992 was revised by national referendum on 12 May 1996 and, again, by referendum, recised to the current version on 18 July 1999. It restored the semi-presidential system of government of the December 1992 constitution (Third Republic) in which the president of the republic, elected by universal suffrage for a five-year term, and a prime minister named by the president share executive power. As a reflection of Niger's increasing population, the unicameral National Assembly was expanded in 2004 to 113 deputies elected for a 5 year term under a majority system of representation. Political parties must attain at least 5% of the vote in order to gain a seat in the legislature.
Do you think there is a connection?
