The second quarter of 2026 was marked by a more constrained operating environment and a widening gap between humanitarian needs and available resources. Non-state armed groups intensified attacks alongside criminality and intercommunal violence. Tillabéri, Diffa and northern Tahoua remained the most affected regions, while attacks in Dosso showed the southward spread of violence. The 18 June events at Diori Hamani International Airport were met with a swift reinforcement of the security apparatus, underscoring the government's sustained vigilance.
