Daily Noon Briefing Highlights – 17 March 2021
Niger
The UN is saddened by the reports of the killing of about 60 people in the area of Banibangou in Tillabery, Niger, 160 km from the capital, Niamey, on 15 March. The civilians died followed violent attacks by unidentified armed men. So far, no armed group has claimed the attacks.
This is the second-deadliest attack against civilians in the Tillabery region this year, after the attack on 2 January 2021, when around 100 civilians lost their lives.
These recurrent attacks against civilians point to the growing protection of civilians concerns in the Tillabery region, which is located along the Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso border. Half a million people need humanitarian assistance in Tillabery, including 125,000 internally displaced people and refugees.
