'Arrogant and Immature': Algeria & Niger Reject EU Interference in Sahel Security | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost explains how, in a dramatic escalation for West African regional security, Algeria has deployed its military forces across the border into neighbouring Niger for the first time in over half a century—sparking a fierce diplomatic standoff with the European Union. Speaking through fierce condemnations from Niamey and Algiers, both capitals rejected Brussels' initial scrutiny as "arrogant and immature" interference, insisting that sovereign African nations require no European permission to conduct bilateral security arrangements. Marking a historic shift as French and American military influence retreats from the Sahel, the deployment is designed to protect multi-billion-dollar energy infrastructure, including state-owned Sonatrach investments and the 4,000-kilometre Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline. With African wealth now defended by African troops on African terms, Algiers and Niamey are sending an unyielding message to Western capitals. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
