As a result of the kidnappings in the far North region, since February 19, 2013 and the fighting going between the security forces and Boko Haram (which has, moreover, laid antipersonnel mines), all French citizens still present in this area have been asked to leave as soon as possible.

Any movement in this area threatens the safety of the French in the areas of the north, far north and Adamawa. Due to the expansion of the territories controlled by the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria, tips given since November 2014 to the Department of Mayo Louti in the Northern Region still holds.

Furthermore, it is not recommended, unless under compelling reason, to travel in the rest of the region from the North and Adamawa
