1. Algeria Clears First Overseas Troop Deployment Since 1973
-- Algeria's parliament approved sending troops to neighbouring Niger to protect energy facilities, the first deployment of Algerian forces abroad since the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, after both chambers backed the move under a 2020 constitutional amendment requiring two-thirds approval (France 24, AFP).
-- Placing soldiers along a 960-kilometre desert border ties Algiers directly into Niger's jihadist insurgency and into the long-delayed Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline meant to carry Nigerian gas to Europe, while signalling resolve to Morocco and the UAE, with which Algeria has cut diplomatic ties.
2. UK Sanctions 15 Sudan Commanders Over Wartime Rape Campaign
-- One year after El Fasher fell to the Rapid Support Forces, Britain sanctioned 15 senior commanders from the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces for suspected atrocities including conflict-related sexual violence, adding travel bans, asset freezes, £5 million for survivors and £10 million in humanitarian aid.
-- Sanctioning individuals rather than the warring parties leaves enforcement dependent on the third countries where commanders hold assets, and UK-funded reporting says siege tactics and aid obstruction persist nationwide, leaving famine risk with the belligerents more than with El Niño.
