The Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced, on Saturday, that it had summoned the Nigerien ambassador regarding “the deportation of Nigerien citizens residing illegally in Algeria” after Niamey summoned the Algerian ambassador to Niger in protest.
The Algerian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday that cooperation in matters of “deportation” of Nigerien citizens “was the subject of some rulings issued by the Nigerien authorities, which the Algerian side considers to be unfounded rulings.
In recent years, Algeria has become a favorite destination for irregular migrants from West and Central Africa.
Since 2014, tens of thousands of them have been deported from Algeria, a transit point to Europe, according to the International Organization for Migration, and some non-governmental organizations have reported deportations at the border.
