Our specialist expert witness for Niger team provides asylum reports covering jihadist targeting, the aftermath of the military coup, ethnic tensions, gender-based violence and child marriage, and migration route dangers.
Niger faces overlapping security crises including jihadist insurgency across multiple border regions, political instability following the 2023 military coup, and ethnic tensions exacerbated by resource competition. Our expert witness for Niger provides the detailed analysis needed to assess how these threats create individualised persecution risk.
Moreover, our expert witness for Niger reports draw on credible sources including UNHCR, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and US State Department reports. Consequently, tribunals can be confident in the evidence we present.
Multiple jihadist groups operate across Niger’s border regions, targeting civilians, traditional leaders, and anyone perceived as cooperating with state authorities.
The 2023 coup has created new persecution patterns, with supporters of the ousted government and civil society activists facing targeting by the military junta.
Competition over resources between herding and farming communities generates ethnic violence, with specific communities facing collective targeting.
Niger has one of the world’s highest rates of child marriage, and women face widespread gender-based violence with minimal state intervention.
Niger sits on major migration routes, and individuals connected to migration face targeting by armed groups, traffickers, and security forces.
Hundreds of thousands have been displaced by conflict, with displaced populations facing continued targeting and vulnerability in areas of displacement.
Asylum claims from Niger require specialist analysis because the specific persecution patterns affecting different communities cannot be understood through generalised country reports alone. Our expert witness for Niger provides the detailed, evidence-based analysis that tribunals need to assess whether individuals face targeted persecution rather than generalised hardship or insecurity.
