Algeria Approves Military Deployment to Niger as Parliament Backs Tebboune’s Order

Algeria's Parliament has approved sending army units to Niger under Article 91 of the Constitution, with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune ordering the deployment less than 24 hours later. A researcher writing for The Conversation argues the move reflects a shift in a doctrine long reluctant to accept foreign military engagement, while the mission's mandate, troop numbers and duration remain undefined.
