Living in such a situation, where fear and uncertainty reign, is a nightmare that no one should have to endure. My family and I constantly live in fear for our lives, and the basic rights and freedoms that we once took for granted have been stripped away.

I understand the risks associated with reporting on such matters, but I believe that your courage and dedication to journalism can make a difference. By sharing our story, you can contribute to putting an end to the suffering that has befallen Niger.
Please, I urge you to consider our plea seriously. Lives are at stake, and the world needs to know the truth. Your unwavering commitment to journalism’s principles can make a world of difference for us here in Niger.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and for considering our plight. I hope that you will find it in your hearts to help us in our time of need.
