President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and Minister of National Defense, chaired a coordination meeting this Wednesday involving the army chief of staff and the commanders of the air and land forces, along with diplomatic and strategic officials. This meeting follows the unanimous approval by both houses of Parliament for the President’s decision to deploy units of the National People's Army to Niger. The deployment was requested by Nigerien authorities to protect the shared energy and economic interests of both countries, in accordance with Article 91 of the Algerian Constitution which regulates the deployment of troops abroad.
