Niger: French passengers now “persona non grata” at Niamey airport? In Niger, several French nationals have been turned away upon their arrival in recent days. This is what an Air Burkina document which circulated on February 1, 2024 seemed to indicate.
But the airline's management denied it in the evening. At Royal Air Maroc, it has been indicated that special authorization from the Niger authorities has been required for almost a week for French passengers. But this source notes that the police have in fact been pushing back French people for several days.
