Air France declared a temporary suspension of flights between Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and Bamako, Mali, effective until August 11. This announcement comes as the military regime in Niger Republic took the step of closing its airspace on Sunday.
The decision to close the airspace was made by the Nigerien regime in response to the conclusion of the ECOWAS 7-day ultimatum on Sunday midnight. The move aimed to safeguard the nation against external threats and potential aggression.
Over the past 12 hours, escalating tensions have gripped Niger Republic, underlining the evolving situation and the need for heightened vigilance.
