Between 70% and 80% of Niger's imports once passed through Cotonou, and Nigerien cargo was around 80% of that port's transit. A bridge closure and a transit suspension in 2023 collapsed the route; traffic moved to Lomé, Abidjan, Dakar and Nouakchott at higher cost.
Niger is the case that separates corridor risk from insurgent risk. Mali's corridors are interdicted by an armed group; Burkina Faso's are threatened by one; Niger's principal route was closed by a bilateral political dispute and has stayed shut for three years. The consequences look similar — higher costs, longer routes, lost revenue — and the remedies are entirely different. It also demonstrates how little the ECOWAS rupture actually severed: the pipeline kept running, a Nigerian transit corridor was reopened for Niger-bound trade, and the volume simply moved to other ECOWAS ports. Political rupture and physical dependence are on different tracks.

- 概覽
- Before 2023, between 70% and 80% of Niger's imports passed through the Port of Cotonou in Benin, and Nigerien cargo made up around 80% of that port's transit volume — a dependence running in both directions. The closure of the Malanville–Gaya bridge in July 2023, followed by Benin's suspension of transit to Niger from August to December that year, collapsed the route. Traffic redirected to Lomé, Abidjan, Dakar and Nouakchott: the Port of Lomé handled 2.06 million TEU in 2024 with 92% of its transit traffic bound for AES states, and set an African monthly record of 123,000 container moves in March 2025. Niger is reported to have lost 117 billion CFA francs in public revenue to the closure. On 9 February President Tinubu reopened the Tsamiya–Kamba corridor linking Ségbana in Benin to Sabon Birni in Niger through Kebbi State in north-western Nigeria. The Niger–Benin oil pipeline to the Sème-Kpodji terminal has continued to operate intermittently throughout, because neither side has gained by dismantling it; incidents at the terminal in 2024 included the detention of Nigerien technicians.
- 依賴它的事物
- Total for maritime access and, until 2023, heavily concentrated. Niger has no coastline and no domestic refining at the scale of its consumption; the Cotonou route was the overwhelming majority of its import traffic. The redirection to Lomé and the Atlantic ports proved that alternatives exist, at materially higher cost and over longer distances — the practical measure of which is the reported 117 billion CFA francs in lost public revenue. The reopened Kebbi transit route through Nigeria is a partial alternative whose carried volume is not established.
- 中斷造成的影響
- Higher landed costs on everything imported, longer transit times, and a reported 117 billion CFA francs in lost public revenue. The counterpart exposure sits in Benin, where Nigerien cargo was around 80% of the Port of Cotonou's transit volume — a port that lost most of its transit business to a political decision. The pipeline's continued intermittent operation through the whole dispute is the clearest evidence that neither government wants the economic relationship ended, only leveraged.
- 替代方案與冗餘
- Demonstrated and expensive. Volume redirected to Lomé, Abidjan, Dakar and Nouakchott after 2023, which establishes that the country is not dependent on any single port — but every alternative is longer, costlier, and still runs through an ECOWAS coastal state. The Kebbi transit corridor through north-western Nigeria, reopened in February, is the one route that bypasses the Benin dispute directly; its volume is unknown. Wider AES adaptation includes the Conakry–Bamako and Nouakchott–Bamako routes, the latter improved by the Rosso Bridge scheduled for 2026, and modest air freight such as a weekly Niger Air Cargo service between Belgium and Niamey — all of which serve Mali more than Niger.
節點
依此紀錄撰寫時的順序排列 — 這是撰寫的次序,而非路線。
尼日歷來從貝南海岸進口的主要路線 — 自2023年7月起大致關閉,僅獲部分替代。
在此系統中歷來的主要路線,2023年前承載70–80%的進口,此後大致關閉。其狀態是由政治而非安全因素所驅動,這使它有別於本模組中的其他所有走廊。
為何重要危機之前,尼日70%至80%的進口經由柯多努港,而尼日貨物約占該港過境運量的80% — 這是相互依賴,而非單向依賴。2023年7月Malanville–Gaya大橋關閉,隨後貝南於同年8月至12月暫停過境運輸,使這條路線崩潰。運輸改道至洛美、阿必尚、達卡與諾克少,成本更高;據報尼日損失了117十億西非法郎的公共收入。通往Sème-Kpodji終端站的尼日–貝南輸油管線仍斷續運作,因為雙方都無法從拆除它中獲益。
觀察重點邊境是否重新開放、以何種條件開放;運量是否從洛美轉回;管線的運作狀態;經奈及利亞的Kebbi過境路線是否承載可觀運量。

尼日首都 — CNSP的所在地、AES聯合司令部與俄羅斯非洲軍團的駐地,2026年兩度遭攻擊。
在此系統中全國進口的目的地與配送點。
為何重要尼阿美是本模組三條線索交會於一處的地方。它是CNSP過渡政權的政治中心;其國際機場的第101基地同時駐有俄羅斯非洲軍團與AES聯合司令部;而它在一年內兩度遭攻擊 — 2026年1月遭伊斯蘭國薩赫勒攻擊,莫斯科公開表示其部隊協助擊退了這次突擊;8月則遭尼日本國軍隊的兵變士兵攻擊,莫斯科表示其部隊應基地司令部的請求予以平定。這座城市是最清楚的單一例證,說明這些政府面臨的威脅同時來自外部與內部。
觀察重點2026年8月兵變後軍隊內部的凝聚力;是否會公布尼日方面對莫斯科所稱第101基地司令部所提請求的說法;對機場周界的進一步攻擊。
首都 信心:高 截至2026-09 在地圖上顯示 →
尼日與貝南之間的尼日河大橋,自2023年7月起關閉 — 尼日的主要進口路線因政治而被關閉之處。
在此系統中通往貝南的尼日河大橋 — 自2023年7月起柯多努路線的實體關閉點。2026-09-26新增。
為何重要2023年之前,尼日70%至80%的進口從柯多努港經此跨越。政變後大橋關閉,貝南於2023年8月至12月全面暫停過境運輸,此後口岸一直關閉:貝南與尼日於2026年6月正式承諾重新開放,技術會談結束時未定出日期,運輸仍經由洛美與布吉納法索進行。這是本模組中最清楚的案例:一條走廊因雙邊爭端、而非武裝團體而關閉。
觀察重點口岸是否以及何時重新開放;條件;貨運是否從布吉納法索路線轉回。
邊境口岸 信心:中等 截至2026-09 在地圖上顯示 →
位於尼阿美通往已關閉之貝南邊境道路上的大區首府 — 尼日西部的武裝團體版圖與奈及利亞邊境在此交會。
在此系統中位於尼阿美與已關閉口岸之間RN1公路上的大區首府。2026-09-26新增。
為何重要Dosso位於尼阿美與Gaya之間的RN1公路上,這是尼日經柯多努之歷來進口路線的軸線。該大區已成為第二戰線:JNIM與伊斯蘭國薩赫勒在其北部各縣相互交戰,伊斯蘭國薩赫勒於2025年5月宣稱在該大區發動首次攻擊,而Tessa的一座憲兵營地於2026年8月遭圍困並被洗劫。關於2026年8月兵變的報導,點名來自Dosso的部隊為參與者之一。Dosso大區內據點所遭受的攻擊均計入此標記,並由紀錄註明地點。
觀察重點對該大區據點的攻擊;Gaya–Malanville口岸的狀態;武裝團體跨越奈及利亞邊境的移動。

經Fada N'Gourma與Kantchari通往尼阿美的道路 — 自2023年以來是尼日海運進口的主要路線,在武裝護航下運行。
在此系統中從洛美穿越布吉納法索的道路,自2023年以來在武裝護航下承載了尼日大部分的海運進口。2026-09-26新增。
為何重要貝南在2023年關閉邊境後,運往尼日的貨物轉往洛美港並走上這條道路,該道路在Kantchari離開布吉納法索,在Makalondi與Torodi進入尼日。人道後勤評估將其描述為從洛美到尼阿美唯一可運作的路線,並指出車隊需要護航。它穿越布吉納法索東部,即JNIM對固定據點施加最大壓力的地區,而尼日在Makalondi的基地於2026年兩度遭攻擊。
觀察重點Fada N'Gourma與Torodi之間對車隊的攻擊;護航制度;尼日的進口是否轉回貝南路線。

尼日在來自布吉納法索之道路上的入口 — Makalondi的集結區與Torodi的海關哨所,兩者都在2026年遭JNIM攻擊。
在此系統中尼日在該道路上的入口,與Kantchari相對;Makalondi的據點於2026年2月被JNIM攻陷。2026-09-26新增。
為何重要從洛美港運往尼阿美的貨物在此進入尼日,從Kantchari跨越至Makalondi的集結區與Torodi的海關哨所。JNIM於2026年2月4日攻陷Makalondi的據點,這是其2月行動的開場攻擊;2026年6月30日攻擊Torodi的據點,且據報導於1月殺害了Torodi的省長。因此,取代尼日已關閉之貝南路線的走廊,穿越的是JNIM在該國最活躍的地區之一。Torodi省內據點所遭受的攻擊均計入此標記,並由紀錄註明地點。
觀察重點對兩鎮據點的攻擊;受護航的貨運是否持續經由兩鎮通行。

政變後,柯多努–尼阿美軸線上的主要口岸Malanville–Gaya大橋關閉。經柯多努運往尼日的貨物崩跌,至今未恢復先前水準。
貝南全面暫停對尼日的過境運輸。此後邊境哨所以縮減的能量運作,而非正常運作,雙邊緊張關係在制裁正式解除後依然持續。
Sème-Kpodji終端站發生的事件,包括尼日技術人員遭拘留,顯示即使管線安排仍在運作,它依然脆弱。
連接貝南Ségbana與尼日Sabon Birni、途經奈及利亞Kebbi州的Tsamiya–Kamba走廊重新開放 — 一條穿越奈及利亞西北部的路線,正作為中薩赫勒的過境基礎設施運作。
政治意涵
The corridor is a bilateral bargaining instrument, which makes its status a diplomatic indicator rather than a security one.
軍事意涵
Sustainment for a force fighting in the west runs on lengthened supply lines from ports further away than the one it used to use.
經濟意涵
Cost inflation on all imports, lost customs revenue, and a mirrored loss on the Beninese side.
人道意涵
Relief supply uses the same lengthened routes into a country whose western regions carry the region's highest recorded civilian death toll.

仍然未知的事項
- The eastern route into Mali, in which Niger is the transit country rather than the destination, is now its own record (niger-mali-eastern-fuel-route, 2026-09-26). Documented escorted convoys populate it; attacks on it after February 2025 were not found, and that record says so.
- The volume carried by the reopened Kebbi transit corridor is not published.
- Current throughput on the Cotonou axis, as against its pre-2023 level, is not established; the collapse is documented, the residual is not.
- The 117 billion CFA franc revenue figure rests on a single source and is recorded as reported rather than established.
證據同樣支持的其他解讀
- The redirection of traffic to Lomé can be read as a durable restructuring of Sahelian transit or as a temporary accommodation that would reverse on a Benin–Niger settlement. Port statistics support the first; the pipeline's continued operation and the reopened Kebbi route support the second.
列出這些解讀,是因為該紀錄本身的評估並非其來源所允許的唯一評估 — 而不是對上述評估的保留。
管線運作狀態
The Niger–Benin pipeline has kept running through a three-year rupture. Its interruption would signal a materially worse bilateral position than anything since 2023.
