In #Tillabéri , between #Téra and #Dargol , near #Doumba , a convoy under escort from #Burkina 🇧🇫 was attacked by terrorists from #EIGS .
🔴 6 militiamen were killed.
🔵 6 trucks were set on fire by the terrorists.
This axis #Ouagadougou - #Kaya - #Dori - #Téra - #Gotheye - #Niamey has become vital for the #Niger , following the sanctions of the #CEDEAO and the closures of the borders with the #Bénin 🇧🇯 and Nigeria.
⚠️ Convoys sometimes wait several weeks in relay towns before being secured by an armed escort. Several thousand trucks are currently waiting for escort, notably at #Kaya .
