Algeria says Niger accepts its mediation in resolving political crisis
ALGIERS (Reuters) - Niger has accepted Algeria's offer of mediation to help resolve its political crisis, Algerian state TV reported on Monday.
Algeria, which shares a border with Niger, has proposed an initiative involving a six-month transition period in Niger led by a civilian.
Members of Niger's presidential guard seized power there in July and established a junta.
Algeria received Niger's official notification of its acceptance of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's mediation initiative, the foreign ministry said in a statement read out on state television.
