阿尔及利亚议会批准向尼日尔派兵：1973年以来首次海外驻军，部队将进驻北部Madama基地
阿尔及尔——阿尔及利亚议会10月25日（周日）通过决议，授权向邻国尼日尔派遣国民军部队；据路透社援引议会声明报道，这将是阿尔及利亚自1973年派兵支援埃及作战以来，首次向海外部署军队。
决议获议员一致通过。按计划，阿尔及利亚部队将进驻尼日尔北部靠近利比亚边境的Madama，那里原是法国「巴尔汗行动」（Operation Barkhane）使用过的一处基地。据一名尼日尔安全消息人士称，目前尚未有部队正式部署；尼日尔总统办公厅主任Bacharou Ibro Amadou将军自10月19日起一直在Agadez大区的Kawar一带活动，曾赴Madama与当地军事指挥官商谈，随后前往Dirkou与军方及传统权威人士讨论基地方案。
此举显示阿尔及尔与尼亚美关系迅速回暖。阿尔及利亚曾反对2023年把尼日尔现军政领导层送上台的政变；去年，阿尔及利亚在边境附近击落一架马里无人机后，尼日尔一度召回驻阿尔及尔大使，两国关系降温。尼日尔、马里与布基纳法索均由政变上台的军人执政，并已组建「萨赫勒国家联盟」。
尼日尔与西非萨赫勒多国一样，正面对与基地组织和伊斯兰国有关联的叛乱武装；与尼日尔接壤的阿尔及利亚历来把萨赫勒—撒哈拉地区的稳定视为本国安全重点。今年以来两国互动明显增多：尼日尔总统Abdourahamane Tiani今年2月访问阿尔及尔，尼日尔国防部长Salifou Mody又于10月20日率防务专家代表团赴阿尔及利亚商谈安全合作。
经济利益也在加深：阿尔及利亚国家能源公司Sonatrach正与尼日尔、尼日利亚推进跨撒哈拉天然气管道项目，意在为非洲天然气开辟通往国际市场、特别是欧洲的新出口通道；该公司2022年已与尼日尔石油部签署Kafra地区的产量分成协议，该地区两口探井已探明储量分别为1.68亿桶与1亿桶。
Algeria's Parliament Approves Troop Deployment to Niger, Its First Foreign Deployment Since 1973
ALGIERS — Algeria's parliament on Sunday approved a resolution authorising the deployment of army units to Niger, in what would mark Algeria's first foreign troop deployment since it sent forces to support Egypt in the 1973 war, according to a parliamentary statement reported by Reuters.
Lawmakers unanimously backed sending National Army units to Madama in northern Niger, near the Libyan border, at the site of a former French base used during Operation Barkhane. No troops have been officially deployed yet, according to a Niger security source. Niger presidential chief of staff General Bacharou Ibro Amadou has been visiting the Kawar area of the Agadez region since October 19, travelling to Madama for talks with local military commanders before meeting military and traditional authorities in Dirkou on plans for the base.
The move highlights a rapid improvement in ties between Algiers and Niamey after a period of strain. Algeria opposed the 2023 coup that brought Niger's current military leaders to power, and relations worsened last year when Niger recalled its ambassador from Algiers after Algeria shot down a Malian drone near their border. Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso are all ruled by military leaders who seized power in coups and later formed the Alliance of Sahel States.
Niger, like other countries in West Africa's Sahel region, is battling insurgents linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State, and Algeria — which shares a border with Niger — has traditionally regarded stability in the Sahel-Sahara as a key regional security priority. Ties have warmed this year: Niger President Abdourahamane Tiani visited Algiers in February, and Niger Defence Minister Salifou Mody travelled there on October 20 with a delegation of defence experts for talks on security cooperation.
Algeria has also deepened its economic interests in Niger. State energy company Sonatrach is working with Niger and Nigeria on the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline, intended to create a new export corridor for African gas to international markets, particularly Europe. Sonatrach said in 2022 that it had signed a production-sharing agreement with Niger's petroleum ministry for the Kafra region, where two exploration wells held proven reserves of 168 million barrels and 100 million barrels respectively.
