The Algerian National Assembly, the upper house of parliament, approved on Sunday in a closed session a proposal to deploy armed forces to neighboring Niger, according to a member of the assembly.
A member of the National Assembly, who requested anonymity, said that 148 members voted in favor of sending army units “to protect energy facilities in Niger,” with deputies in the People’s National Assembly (the lower house) set to vote on the proposal later on the same day.
