Algeria's Plans to Exploit Niger's Oil is Strategic Opportunity Amid Global Oil Crisis: Nigerien ExpertThe launch of Niger's oil-exploiting operations by Algeria represents an economic windfall for both countries, especially in the context of the Middle East crisis, Salifou Ibrahim Bako, a Nigerien civil society actor, told Sputnik Africa.As the global oil market is currently experiencing a serious crisis following the US and Israeli attack on Iran, "You will see that the West is lacking oil, including the US," Bako stressed.This week, local media announced that the Algerian state company Sonatrach would begin exploration of oil deposits at the Kafra field in northern Niger in early April.This strategic project, located near the border, aims to assess the oil potential of the country.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
