STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Niger - Public Announcement
============================================================
Niger - Public Announcement
January 30, 1996

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
For Immediate Release


On January 27, 1996 a military coup ousted the democratically 
elected president of Niger, dissolved the National Assembly and 
political parties, and suspended the constitution.  A new ruling 
council has indicated its desire to restore a civilian democratic 
government as early as possible.  The population of Niger remains 
calm and the security situation is returning to normal.  There is a 
curfew from 9:00 PM to 5:30 AM in Niamey.  The U.S. Embassy in 
Niamey reports that all U.S. citizens are safe and has advised them 
to obey curfew regulations.  Niger's international airport is open.  
This Public Announcement will expire on February 20, 1996.

For further information on travel to Niger, consult the Department 
of State's Consular Information Sheet dated April 28, 1995.
