Niger — Flow Monitoring Overview (2016-2017)
Dec 31 2017
- Flow Monitoring
The data presented show the changing trends between 2016 and 2017. Many more migrants were observed passing through the towns of Ségédine and Arlit in 2016 than in 2017. This is explained by more controls on migratory movements in Niger since October 2016 by the Government of Niger. Following this, the movements of migrants taking roads to avoid checkpoints in order to make it to Algeria or Libya. While observed outgoing flows decreased significantly between 2016 and 2017, incoming flows remained similar. In addition, for 2017, incoming flows exceed observed outflows. This is partly due to the aforementioned trend of migrants taking alternate roads, making these flows difficult to quantify.
