🇩🇿🇳🇪🇱🇾⚡- BREAKING: Algeria’s parliament has unanimously approved the forward deployment of Algerian military forces into Niger.

The deployment expands on Algeria’s existing military presence at Air Base 101 at Niamey International Airport, established following the attempted coup on 29 August. Algerian forces are now set to deploy to key oil infrastructure sites across Niger, but more importantly to the Madama Air Base (at 21.9554711, 13.6470986), a strategically significant installation in the country’s northeast.

Once a vocal opponent of the Sahelian junta bloc, Algeria appears to have softened its stance toward Mali and Burkina Faso, while openly backing the authorities in Niamey, which included the sale of military helicopters just a few month ago.

Algiers’ shift is understood to be driven by the growing influence of Saddam Haftar and eastern Libyan factions, which Niamey accuses of supporting Tuareg separatists in northeast Niger as well as the anti-junta Patriotic Liberation Front, FPL. Certain sections of the Nigerien junta have accused the FPL of orchestrating the August 29 attacks.

Algeria has long opposed the Haftar warlords, and the deployment to Madama Air Base places Algerian forces directly on the doorstep of FPL areas of operation in northeastern Niger, while also positioning them close to the Libyan border, particularly Fezzan, a region controlled by the remnants of the infamous 128th Brigade of Haftar's Libyan National Army.
