Default Algeria abandons 13,000 migrants in the Sahara

Quote:
Algeria has abandoned more than 13,000 people in the Sahara Desert over the past 14 months, including pregnant women and children, expelling them without food or water and forcing them to walk, sometimes at gunpoint, under a blistering sun. Some never make it out alive.

The expelled migrants can be seen coming over the horizon by the hundreds, appearing at first as specks in the distance under temperatures of up to 48 C.

In Niger, where the majority head, the lucky ones limp across a desolate 15-kilometre no-man's-land to the border village of Assamaka. Others wander for days before a UN rescue squad can find them. Untold numbers perish; nearly all of the more than two dozen survivors interviewed by The Associated Press told of people in their groups who simply vanished into the Sahara.

"Women were lying dead, men..... Other people got missing in the desert because they didn't know the way," said Janet Kamara, who was pregnant at the time. "Everybody was just on their own."

'I lost my son'
In a voice almost devoid of feeling, she recalled at least two nights in the open before her group was rescued, but said she lost track of time.

"I lost my son, my child," said Kamara, who is Liberian.

Another woman in her early twenties also went into labour and lost her baby, she said.

Algeria's mass expulsions have picked up since October 2017, as the European Union renewed pressure on North African countries to head off migrants going north to Europe via the Mediterranean Sea or the barrier fences with Spain.

Same reasons if 100folk turned up in your garden wanting to stay and eat and use your WiFi you would lock your doors

Oh right...

Are they saying algeria are sending people that were already there...or sending the specs of dust suddenly appering en mass on the horizon?

They are doing it to migrants, but that’s fine I guess as long as we let the Algerians in when they come knocking

I dont get this...these people either walked through a desert to get to algeria.....feed them up, then send them right back the way they came.


Or arrived by boat....and algeria sent them back through the desert...sick bastard who decided that.

The lack of empathy would be worrying if it wasn't so predictable.

Surprisingly, not everything I say or do revolves around either of you, so no.

It's a sorry state for sure, but lets be clear, it doesn't really matter where people are dropped off in that particular region, its going to be inhospitable. Without supplies, people are ****ed

It's the direction the world is moving in and we're moving at a worrying pace. Why fix the real problems each country faces when immigrants can be dehumanised and blamed for all the ills in the world?

I said either yesterday or the day before that it wouldn't surprise me if the US start killing people at the border with firing squads and **** but Algeria got to that point first, they just used a different method.

Yes, but why algeria, surely algeria is a country with a mainly muslim population...so i cant see why it wouldnt surprise you...it should surprise us...surely!!

Anyhow, i dont believe you, i think ut was an underhand personal attack on your fellow forum users....

So profiteers make money by lying to young people and then round them up and dump them at the Algerian border and Algeria are supposed to welcome them and feed and house them, I guess they are saying er no, that is not how it works and stopping them. The fault is not Algeria but the people who dump these people at their door and make money out of it.

I would also note in the somewhat hysterical articles I have read its full of anecdotal stories from the migrants and very little else

Because people are caring less and less about it.

If another immigrant child washes up on the beach, you'd get way more people who would just shrug it off and not care one bit. It would not get the same amount of empathy that the first incident created because we are living in a world where dehumanising people gets you elected.
