The French website “Africa News” said in its report on illegal immigration that about 10,000 migrants a month flow from the Nigerien city of Agadez to Libya.
The Nigerien city of Agadez has witnessed a large influx of migrants since the decree banning the transfer and activities of migrants was repealed by the ruling military council in November 2023.
The migrants leave Agadez with the help of smugglers, using four-wheel-drive cars or trucks on their way to Libya or Algeria, the last stop before crossing the Mediterranean towards Europe.
According to a report by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) published last February, new waves of migration have seen a 50% increase from Niger toward Libyan territory since last December.
