The African invasion of Europe



The majority of African migrants living overseas are in Europe – about 4.6m compared with 890,000 in the US, according to the International Organization for Migration. But the Migration Policy Institute believes there are between seven and eight million irregular African immigrants living in the EU – the actual number changing depending on regularisation schemes in the member states.

About two-thirds of Africans in Europe are from north Africa (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia). An increasing number are travelling from Sub-Saharan Africa, mainly heading for the former colonial powers of France, Germany, Italy and the UK.

The main aim of migrants is to reach European soil – be it mainland Europe or the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla or islands in the Atlantic and Mediterranean.

The main departure points are:
West coast of Africa: Northern Mauritania, Western Sahara and southern Morocco from where most head for the Canary Islands.
Northern Morocco to cross into Ceuta and Melilla or cross the straits to Spain.
Tunisia and Libya for boats heading for Italy’s island of Lampedusa, Sicily and Malta.

But first the migrants must cross great distances.
The main routes are:

Route: West African coast
