A recent development in Niger has significant implications for the LGBTQ community. The country's military junta has introduced a new penal code that affects same-sex relationships. The new code targets consensual same-sex sexual relations, making them a criminal offense.
This move makes Niger the latest African country to take such a step. Further details on this development are available from the Associated Press, which reported on the announcement on June 12.
