Story summary

Algeria's parliament approved a resolution on Sunday to send troops to Niger for the first time since 1973, when it sent forces to support Egypt in the Arab-Israeli war. The move marks Algeria’s first foreign military deployment in over five decades and follows improved relations between Algeria and Niger after a period of tension. Lawmakers unanimously backed deploying National Army units to Madama in northern Niger, near the Libyan border, at the site of a former French base used during Operation Barkhane. Although no troops have been officially deployed yet, General Bacharou Ibro Amadou, the chief of staff of Niger's presidential office, has been visiting the Kawar area since October 19 to discuss plans for the base with local military commanders. This deployment highlights a rapid improvement in ties between Algiers and Niamey following recent diplomatic strains over Niger’s 2023 coup and subsequent recall of its ambassador from Algeria.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
