Niger : La situation sécuritaire jugée « calme et sous contrôle » par le ministre de la Défense
Niger's Minister of State for National Defence, General Salifou Mody, stated on April 18, 2026, that the country's security situation is "calm and under control," during an interview on national television.
He recalled that the main mission of his department is to ensure the defense of the territory and the protection of institutions, in a context where Niger has chosen to take control of its security sovereignty since 2023. As such, approximately 23,000 elements of the defense and security forces are permanently deployed in the field.
The minister also explained some operational difficulties, including the slowness of interventions in certain areas, linked to the vastness of the territory, the isolation of several localities and the insufficient number of personnel facing nearly 32,000 villages.
To address this, the authorities are relying on a strategy combining decentralized operations, centralized coordination, and increased involvement of local communities. General Mody also reassured the public that all measures are being taken to guarantee the safety and security of the population.
