AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoSecurity and Travel: Algeria’s parliament has approved sending troops to Niger’s northern Madama area to protect energy interests, marking its first authorised foreign deployment since 1973. No troops have officially arrived. The move comes amid heightened security concerns after attacks killed 12 people on buses in northern Niger and a deadly ambush disrupted travel on the Agadez–Arlit highway. Two Europeans held in Niger for more than 18 months have also been freed. Overland travellers should check current local conditions before setting out.
