Dear Anonymous: According 'Daily Times Nigeria' and 'AGI.it', they were Nigerians. Please see links below: http://www.agi.it/english-version/world/elenco-notizie/201206082230-cro-ren1111-ivory_coast_7_nigerian_u_n_peacekeepers_killed_in_ambush and http://www.dailytimes.com.ng/article/ivory-coast-7-nigerian-u-n-peacekeepers-killed-ambush . However, CNN said 'from Niger', so I'm going to stick with that. It was conflict of sources.
They weren't Nigerians. They wee Nigeriens. I hope you can see the difference. Thanks.
