Algeria's parliament unanimously approved a forward deployment of military forces to Niger. This expands Algeria's presence at Air Base 101 (Niamey International Airport), which was established after the August 29 coup attempt. Forces will be deployed to key oil infrastructure and Madama Air Base (21.9554711, 13.6470986) in the northeast. Algeria softened its stance towards Mali and Burkina Faso while backing the Niamey junta, which recently provided military helicopters. This change goes against the growing influence of Saddam Haftar and the factions in eastern Libya, whom Niami accuses of supporting Tuareg separatists and the anti-junta Patriotic Liberation Front (FPL). Some members of the junta blame the FPL for the August 29 attacks. The deployment places Algerian forces close to FPL operational areas and the Libyan border, particularly Fazan, which is controlled by the remnants of the 128th Brigade of the Haftar.
