Algerian military regime has recently expelled approximately 20,000 migrants from sub-Saharan African countries to neighboring Niger since the beginning of this year, according to a non-governmental organization.
Alarme Phone Sahara, which assists migrants in the Sahel region, reported that these expulsions often occurred under severe conditions and included women and children.
Between January and August 2024, the organization documented 19,798 expulsions, as confirmed by their communications officer, Mokhtar Dan Yai.
Since 2014, Algeria has regularly expelled irregular migrants, including women and minors, who often use the country as a transit point to Europe.
These expulsions are reportedly carried out under harsh conditions, sometimes with fatal consequences, the organization warned.
