Niger : Des Arrestations en Cours Après La Mutinerie Contre La Junte
Four Algerian fighter jets arrived after loyalist forces retook the base from mutinous soldiers, as dozens were reported killed or arrested.
- On Sunday, August 30, four Algerian Sukhoi SU-30 fighter jets, an Ilyushin IL-76 transport, and an Ilyushin IL-78 tanker landed at Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey.
- The deployment came one day after mutinous soldiers attacked the strategic airbase on August 29, with loyalist forces backed by the Russian Africa Corps restoring control after nearly 24 hours of fighting.
- Prime Minister Ali Mahamane Lamine Zeine, Defence Minister General Salifou Mody, and Armed Forces Major General Moussa Salaou Barmou received the aircraft, which Nigerien authorities described as "strategic support" from the Algerian Armed Forces.
- This arrival signals a deepening military relationship between Algeria and Niger, following Algeria's delivery of two Mi-171 transport and two Mi-24 attack helicopters earlier in August.
- Security dynamics in the Sahel States have shifted significantly since the junta broke with France, with Moscow now assuming a more prominent role alongside regional partners like Algeria.
