Algeria's Shift from Non-Intervention to Niger
The article discusses the evolution of Algeria's role in the Niger crisis. Initially, its focus was limited to protecting its borders internally from fires and disasters. However, as events in Niger escalated and turned into a military crisis, Algeria became indirectly involved in the game of regional and international powers. The Algerian army sent fighter jets and helicopters to support a military regime in Niamey, despite Article 31 of the Algerian constitution prohibiting external intervention in internal conflicts. This highlights that the decision to engage was made unofficially and without parliamentary approval. This shift reflects a transition from border defense within Algeria to supporting illegitimate military regimes abroad, financed and supported by external powers like Russia and the USA. Such actions threaten regional security and expose Algeria to significant geopolitical risks, indicating that this involvement marks a dangerous slide into military intervention lacking constitutional legitimacy and reflecting internal weaknesses within the military establishment.
