Niger Crisis: August 24, 2023. Algeria is Mediating with ECOWAS Countries to Avoid War

Algeria opposes an armed solution to the problem created by the coup in Niger. It has started a process of mediation for which it is going to talk to ECOWAS countries Nigeria, Ghana and Benin, which have favored a military intervention.

For this purpose, Algeria has sent its foreign minister, Ahmed Attaf, on a mediation trip to Nigeria, Benin and Ghana, trying to end the crisis with the Republic of Niger.

A military intervention would be “a direct threat to Algeria”.
