Protection of business interests: The upper house of the Algerian parliament approved the deployment of military units in neighboring Niger. Now this project will be considered in the lower house. If it is approved there, the country will be able to send the army to protect its neighbor's oil installations. The vote took place after the visit of Niger's Minister of Defense, General Salif Modi, to Algeria. There he held talks with President Abdelmadjid Tabun and the Chief of Staff of the People's National Army, General Said Shangria. Following the visit, the parties signed a protocol on military cooperation, which will allow Algeria to deploy its army in the territory of its neighbor, which the state assists in the fight against terrorists and the opposition.
