FT: Algeria pursues assertive policy with southern neighbors
The Financial Times reported that Algeria has adopted a firm diplomatic approach in its relations with its southern neighbors, sending military forces to support the Niger regime following an attempted coup in August—an unusual move since 1973—in order to enhance its influence and address terrorist threats along its southern borders. Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune confirmed that the intervention was a response to provocations from neighboring countries and expressed Algeria's support for Mali and Niger in their fight against terrorism. This comes amid deteriorating relations with the UAE due to regional policies and concerns over the geopolitical influence of countries like Morocco and Russia in the region.
