The Swiss government has withdrawn its personnel from its coordination office in Niger due to the difficult security situation. Three staff members and one accompanying person left the African crisis country, according to the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (EDA). The Swiss government is concerned about the developments in Niger and condemns the military takeover. In light of the "alarming developments", they decided to withdraw the personnel. As soon as the situation allows, the personnel will return to Niger. The Swiss government continues to support the people of Niger, but is adapting its activities to the current situation.nnnnnnnn
