Niger Seeks Algerian Army
The Algerian army has deployed abroad for the first time since the 1973 October War, after a convoy arrived in Arlit, northwestern Niger. The mission is to protect shared energy and economic interests, at the request of Nigerien authorities and with the approval of the Algerian parliament. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune approved the deployment of the units on October 26. Those interests include Sonatrach’s oil-exploration investments in the Kafra region, across a tract of 23,737 square kilometers, as well as Niger’s importance to the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline project, which has not yet become operational. Algeria has not disclosed the size of the force or how long it will remain deployed, while Niger faces groups linked to al-Qaeda and ISIS.
