LEGALITY OF THE ALGERIAN MASS EXPULSIONS UNDER THE INTERNATIONAL FRAMEWORK
Downloads
Abstract
Algeria for the vast majority of its history has been an important transit point for migrant’s looking to move from Sub-Saharan Africa towards Europe. Algeria shares its borders with Mali and Niger towards the South, with Libya and Tunisia in the East, and Morocco lies at its western border. This geographical location makes it a hub for migrant activities with most of the migrant flows towards Europe using this channel to transit across Africa and on to the Mediterranean Sea. The number of migrants coming into Algeria has steadily progressed since the civil war ended in 2002 and there are some 100,000 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa living in Algeria at any given time.1 Recently it has gained importance as a transit country for migrants looking to move towards Europe ever since stricter border control has been enforced in neighboring Libya, which was previously the migrant hub. Many migrants who do not have money to cover the cost of their travel towards Europe often stop and live for indefinite periods of time in Algeria and Morocco. While Algeria has gained due to the cheap labor and economic benefits these migratory trends provide, it has not always been smooth sailing.
