Niger and Algeria Normalize Diplomatic Relations
On instructions from the Algerian president, the ambassador to Niger is resuming his post in Niamey effective immediately, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The decision comes after Niger's ambassador to Algeria returned to Algiers and resumed duties on February 12, 2026, it noted.
The ambassadors' return seeks to restart high-level bilateral political dialogue, according to the statement.
Niger and its Sahel allies had recalled their ambassadors after the Algerian army destroyed a Malian drone in April 2025. In response, Algeria also recalled its ambassador from Niamey.
