Illegal Immigration In Southern Algeria: Exploring Potential Integration
Authors : Abbou Tahar .
Abstract
In recent times, illegal immigration has emerged as a significant concern not only for European nations but also for North African countries, traditionally viewed as transit points for illegal immigrants heading to Europe. However, with political upheavals in Tunisia and Libya and the implementation of stringent measures by European authorities, Algeria has increasingly become the ultimate destination for these migrants. Official data provided by the Brigade for the Fight against Illegal Immigration and the Courts of Adrar and Tamanrasset- two southern provinces sharing frontiers with Mali and Niger, respectively- confirm that Algeria has become a hosting country. Despite stringent border controls enforced by the military, the activities of smugglers continue to facilitate the arrival of thousands of Africans annually in regions like Tamanrasset and Adrar. The dire living conditions endured by these immigrants, particularly in districts such as “B'ni Waskut” in southwestern Adrar, render them susceptible to involvement in delinquency, criminality, and prostitution. The paper proposes a project-oriented approach focusing on integrating these immigrants into local development initiatives, thereby preventing the negative consequences on the region.
