In a harrowing attack that unfolded on December 11, 2024, the village of Libiri, near Samira in Niger Republic’s Tillabéri region, was entirely reduced to ashes by terrorists. The raid left a trail of destruction, claiming the lives of at least 147 civilians in one of the deadliest incidents this year.
Eyewitnesses report that the attackers stormed the village, sparing neither homes nor lives, forcing all survivors to flee the area. The once-thriving community is now desolate, marking yet another grim chapter in the region’s escalating violence.
As humanitarian concerns mount, authorities and international organizations are being urged to respond swiftly to address the growing security crisis in the Sahel.
