Algeria approves sending army unit to Niger, its first foreign troop deployment since 1973

Algeria's upper house of parliament, the Council of the Nation, has voted in favor of a presidential decision to send a military unit to Niger — the country's first official foreign troop deployment since it sent forces to support Egypt in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. Troops are set to deploy to Madama in northern Niger, near the Libyan border.
