Algerian diplomacy in Chad: Reasserting influence in the Sahel

Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf is conducting an official visit to N’Djamena, reflecting a shift in Algeria's regional policy amidst shifting geopolitical dynamics and the resurgence of French military maneuvers in Chad. Algeria is actively pushing for African-led solutions to regional challenges, firmly rejecting foreign interference. As a strategic move, the People's National Army has increased its presence near the Nigerien border to protect the Nigeria-Niger-Algeria gas pipeline project. This infrastructure project is currently facing resistance from various international actors. Through these actions, Algeria aims to establish itself as a primary guarantor of regional stability and sovereignty.
