The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a travel advice notice warning members of the public to avoid non-essential travel to Niger, where a military coup has plunged the West African nation into a political crisis.

They are also invited, if they wish, to register on the Connect2CY (https://www.connect2cy.gov.cy/) online registration platform for Cypriot citizens abroad.
It is noted that in case of emergency, Cypriot citizens may contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Consular Affairs Department +357 22 651113 (08:30-15:00, Monday–Friday) or at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Crisis Management Department +357 22 801000, +357 22 651295 (08:30-15:00, Monday–Friday) and mobile +357 97 775998 (outside working hours).
