Hey guys, FYI the govt dissolved yesterday, into an oozing mess onto the floor of the General Assembly Builiding. Ha j/k. The Prime Minister an his regime were voted out by the General Assembly. The president either needs to pick a new Prime Minister or call an election. (Fat chance of that.) Up shot is that it's a political move that has no effect on the safety and security situtation here in Niamey or anywhere else. No military police on the streets, no people hiding in their homes. So don't worry.
Am more worried about the volunteer who got hacked in the arm by a machete wielding Niamey purse snatcher late last night. She's fine a few stitches later.
