According to the IOM, population movements in Niger increased by 20% in the first half of 2023. 2/3 of them are going to or coming from neighboring countries such as Algeria, where they have been expelled.
According to AlarmePhone Sahara, more than 2,000 people were expelled from Algeria to Niger between 20 and 23 May.
Mid-May, 9 bodies of migrants from sub-Saharan African countries were discovered at the Algeria-Tunisia border. They died of hunger and cold. Last year, at least 4 migrants lost their lives in the same place.
On May 8, Border Forensics published a survey showing the increased risk of death faced by migrants crossing the desert from Niger to Libya. The organization used innovative technological methods to carry out its investigation.
Around May 9, 14-16 people left Algeria by boat and are still missing today.
