尼日 — CNSP過渡當局 → 薩赫勒國家聯盟（AES）

摘要

Niger joined the Alliance of Sahel States at its founding in September 2023, weeks after the July coup that brought the CNSP to power, and the three members made it a confederation in July 2024. Niger's position within it is distinct: Niamey hosts the AES joint command at Base 101, alongside a Russian presence co-located with it, and the July 2026 Niamey consultations that produced a formal Russia–AES framework were held there. That makes Niger the bloc's institutional and diplomatic centre of gravity rather than simply one of three members — a position complicated in August 2026 by an armed mutiny inside the same capital.

為何重要

The confederation's two most consequential structures — its joint command and its relationship with Russia — are both anchored in Niamey, which means Nigerien internal stability is a confederation-level variable rather than a national one.

仍然未知的事項

• This module's Niger lens is a baseline rather than a depth. Country-specific institutional detail beyond the shared confederation record is thin.
• The joint command at Base 101 is recorded as a location the module already publishes and as an institutional fact; no force levels, dispositions or activity are published for it.
• This module carries no dated event record for the charter or the confederation treaty; both dates come from the AES actor record.
