According to the senior diplomat, Algeria’s initiative comprises six points, including the development of “political arrangements with the acceptance of all parties in Niger without excluding any party” and within the proposed half-year period.
A “civilian power led by a consensus figure” would oversee the process, he added.
Last week, Algeria reportedly rejected a request from France to fly over its airspace for a military operation in Niger, while Paris denies even planning a strike to free deposed President Mohamed Bazoum.
In Algiers, the government of Africa’s largest nation has repeatedly opposed a military intervention, an action which the West African regional bloc ECOWAS, backed by Paris, has threatened to launch in order to reinstate Bazoum.
