STORYLINE:

Algeria, Nigeria, and Niger signed agreements on Tuesday to advance the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline (TSGP), a project aimed at linking Africa's gas reserves to European markets.
   
The signing ceremony in Algiers followed a ministerial meeting of the TSGP Steering Committee, Algeria's energy ministry said.
   
Algerian Energy Minister Mohamed Arkab called the 4,000-km pipeline a "strategic bridge between Africa and the world," saying it would transport 20 to 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually and enhance regional and global energy security.
   
The TSGP would move gas from Nigeria through Niger to Algeria, with potential supplies to Europe and other markets. Algeria currently exports gas to Europe via three pipelines, though one route through Morocco has been inactive since 2021 due to diplomatic tensions.
