Algeria's Niger stance shifts from rejection to acceptance
A report on the shift in Algeria's stance regarding military intervention outside its borders: previously, it rejected the use of force in the region, but it sent air force units to Niger after a failed coup attempt in August 2026. This change highlights a break from the long-standing policy of non-intervention that Algeria has followed for years and reflects its efforts to regain influence in the Sahel region in order to counter the growing influence of countries like Morocco. It also reflects strategic and economic projects such as the gas pipeline and the Bilma oil block. Analysts believe that the constitutional amendment of 2020 is the foundation of this transformation, despite the lack of consultation with Parliament. This raises questions about its conformity with constitutional frameworks and indicates that Algeria is heading toward a more actively engaged foreign military policy.
