In Niger, thousands of people have been fleeing terrorist violence in the Tillabéri region on the border with Mali for several days.

The threat has increased in the canton of Anzourou as inhabitants of several villages flee to safety amid reports of an imminent attack on their settlements by armedmen.

Mourtala Zoubérou, WADR’s French Service correspondent in Niamey sent this report, voiced in our studios by Adolphus Mawolo.
