Burkina Faso’s Transitional Legislative Assembly (ALT) has unanimously voted to send troops to neighbouring Niger, where the military seized power on 26 July. Defence Minister Colonel Major Kassoum Coulibaly said the troops will have a three-month renewable stay in Niger, “fighting terrorism and contributing to stabilising Sahel states”. Burkina Faso’s interim cabinet on 30 August approved the deployment of troops to Niger. Earlier Burkina Faso, Niger, and Mali entered a military alliance.
