Algeria fills Wagner gap
French reports said Algerian soldiers had arrived in Niger to escort a fuel convoy to Agadez. The convoy consists of 53 trucks carrying around 1.65 million litres, amid speculation that the soldiers’ mission could extend beyond securing supplies. Reports have also suggested that Algerian personnel might replace some Russian forces at Air Base 101 in Niamey, as Moscow redeploys troops because of the war in Ukraine. But it remains unclear whether Algeria would take on a role in place of Wagner or Africa Corps. The report warns that expanding the mission to protect the authorities or take part in field operations could expose Algeria to security risks and place it at the heart of competition among powers in the Sahel.
