Eight people, including six French employees of the NGO Acted, were killed on Sunday by an armed group in the Kouré region, south-east of the Nigerian capital Niamey. The victims had traveled to this tourist area to observe giraffes. The attack, described as "terrorist" by Niamey and Paris, is the first to target the French in this sector. Nigerien soldiers and scientific police are on site in Niger while the French national anti-terrorism prosecution has announced the opening of an investigation.
