Algérie déploie ses forces pour soutenir un pays ami
The Algerian Ministry of National Defense announced the deployment of military air support to Niamey, Niger, following a failed coup attempt that took place in the capital on the nights of August 28 and 29, 2026. The support included two combat patrols of Sukhoi Su-30 aircraft, along with a Koweit refueling plane of the Il-78 type and a military transport aircraft of the Il-76 model. The aircraft landed at Niamey's airport on Sunday morning and were received by the Nigerien Prime Minister—an unprecedented move outside national borders. This step is part of efforts to support the country's stability after clashes and attempts by a military group to seize control of sensitive sites. It underscores the level of security cooperation between Algeria and Niger, amid escalating tensions in the Sahel region, in line with constitutional amendments that officially allow the Algerian military to participate in operations beyond its borders.
