The European Union reverses its position regarding a military agreement between Niger and Algeria.
"Algeria's decision to station troops in Niger falls within the framework of the bilateral relations between Algeria and Niger," EU spokesman Anwar El-Anouni unexpectedly announced on Tuesday.
Earlier, on October 30, he requested "clarification on the scope, purpose and basis" of the military and economic agreement signed between Niger and Algeria.
The European Union was subsequently heavily criticized for interfering in the internal affairs of two sovereign countries, mainly from Niger's foreign ministry.
