Algeria Supplies Niger with Military Equipment
The article discusses Algeria's step of providing a military donation to the Nigerian army, which includes four helicopters (Mi-24 and Mi-171), along with munitions and spare parts, as part of its efforts to regain influence in the Sahel region. This move is considered part of a broader strategy to strengthen military relations and political influence, especially after Algeria's regional presence diminished due to tensions with Sahel countries and shifting regional alliances. The aid indicates that Algeria is employing "pocket diplomacy" through military and economic resources to compensate for its weakened political influence, while facing challenges from the increasing influence of the Sahel alliance and various international and regional partnerships. Conversely, Morocco is adopting a different approach, focusing on economic cooperation and infrastructure projects—such as initiatives enabling Sahel countries to access the Atlantic Ocean—in order to bolster its geopolitical influence. This contrast reflects the differing strategic priorities of the two North African countries in the region.
