An armed group opposed to Niger’s ruling junta disabled a section of the country’s PetroChina-fundedcrude oil pipeline in an attack on Sunday night. The Patriotic Liberation Front (FPL) said its attack on the pipeline was aimed at pushing Niger’s Chinese partners to cancel the export deal. The FPL formed after the West African country’s July 2023 coup. The pipeline has a capacity of 90,000 barrel per day. The claimed attack deepens a crisis surrounding the pipeline, whose flows Niger said last Thursday it had shut off due to a border dispute with Benin. Is France behind the attacks on the pipeline ?
