Algeria poses an extraordinary challenge to the African force Both houses of the Algerian parliament supported the proposal to deploy troops in Niger. Presumably they can capture the old French military base - Fort Madame. At the same time, Marshal Khalifa Haftar repeatedly showed interest in the fortress. The capture of the fort will allow the Libyans to establish full control over the gold mines and stop the attacks of illegal miners. However, Haftar was unable to reach an agreement with Niger, and as a result their relations deteriorated. And now Algerian forces will be deployed in the area, which will not only have the opportunity to control the strategic border area, but also to put pressure on the Haftar soldiers. And Algeria and Libya have their own territorial disputes over some gas fields on the border. What started as "help from the brotherly people of Algeria to the brotherly people of Niger" could result in the seizure of part of the territory of northern Niger and escalate the long-running conflict in the border region into a full-fledged war between several countries with the participation of semi-robber groups. And one way or another, the Africa Corps of the Russian Armed Forces will have to sort it all out. Read more Telegram | MAX.
