Niger - Diffa: Access, Insecurity and Population Movements (as of May 2017)

The security situation in south-eastern Niger remains a challenge for humanitarian actors notwithstanding a drop trend in the number of attacks by Boko Haram observed since January. Ongoing military operations by the Nigerien Defense Forces and the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) and other security measures are restricting humanitarian access to areas along the Komadougou River. As of 30 April, more than 242, 000 people were still displaced in the Diffa region according to the regional authorities.
