阿尔及利亚批准向尼日尔派兵，系1973年来首次海外军事部署

阿尔及利亚议会批准向尼日尔派遣军队，这是该国自1973年以来首次进行海外军事部署，标志着其长期不向外派兵政策的重大转变1。此次行动旨在保护尼日尔北部靠近利比亚边界的能源设施（如天然气管道），以应对与基地组织或伊斯兰国有关联的武装团体威胁1。

阿尔及利亚上议院于周日举行紧急会议批准了该部署计划1。参议员 Belkacem Boulghiti 引用2020年宪法中允许海外军事部署的条款，并明确界定任务性质：“我们不是送士兵去尼日尔打仗，而是执行确保经济基础设施安全的任务。”1目前，具体的部署时间和士兵人数尚未公布1。

此举发生在阿尔及利亚与尼日尔外交关系修复的背景下。此前，两国在2025年因阿尔及利亚击落马里无人机事件引发外交裂痕，随后关系逐步改善1。与此同时，阿尔及利亚国家石油公司 Sonatrach 已与尼日尔石油部签署协议，计划在 Kafra 地区勘探石油，两口井估计储量分别为1.68亿桶和1亿桶1。

Algeria has authorized its first overseas military mission since the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, marking a significant departure from the nation’s long-standing non-intervention policy 1. The decision was finalized on Sunday after the upper house of parliament held an emergency session and voted to approve the deployment of troops to neighboring Niger 1. This move utilizes a constitutional provision introduced in 2020 that permits Algerian forces to operate abroad under specific security conditions 1.

The primary objective of the mission is to safeguard energy facilities in northern Niger near the Libyan border, such as natural gas pipelines, which are currently threatened by armed groups linked to al-Qaeda or ISIS 1. Senator Belkacem Boulghiti clarified the nature of the operation, stating, “We are not sending soldiers to fight in Niger but to perform a mission ensuring the safety of economic infrastructure” 1. The deployment follows recent commercial agreements between Algeria’s state-owned oil company, Sonatrach, and Niger’s Ministry of Oil, including exploration projects in the Kafra region where two wells have estimated reserves of 168 million and 100 million barrels respectively 1. Although this action comes after a diplomatic rift between the two countries caused by Algeria shooting down a Malian drone in 2025, relations have since improved, paving the way for this cooperation 1. Specific details regarding the number of personnel involved and the exact timeline for the deployment remain undisclosed 1.
