French Unease Over Algeria’s Support for Niger’s Authorities

The French media remain focused on Algeria’s decision to send military aircraft to Nigerien authorities to help confront the failed coup attempt, despite the fact that nearly five days have passed since the incident.

The coverage gives the impression that the French are deeply unsettled by what happened and have yet to come to terms with a decision that represents a break with Algeria’s traditional positions.

It also marks Algeria’s entry into a sphere that Paris still regards as its backyard, even after being forced to withdraw from it.
