Today, BF launches a new investigation on the deadly effects of border control in Niger. Over the past year we investigated the relation between bordering practices, spatial shifts in migrant trajectories and increased danger of crossing Niger’s Saharan desert.

A thread 🧵
In 2015, with the support of the European states and agencies, #Niger adopted a new Law on illegal trafficking of migrants. Law 2015-36 establishes new forms of #border control with the aim of thwarting #migration across Northern Niger to Libya. Image
Law 2015-36 has not stopped migrants' #mobility in the region but rather forced trajectories into more remote areas of the #desert, creating dangerous and often fatal conditions. Image
With innovative #geospatial and #RemoteSensing methodologies we analyzed how policies and practices of border control have increased the risk of migrants dying.

BF publie une nouvelle enquête sur les effets mortels des contrôles frontaliers au Niger. Nous avons enquêté sur la relation entre les pratiques frontalières, l’évolution des routes migratoires et les dangers de la traversée du désert.
 
Un fil 🧵
En 2015, avec le soutien des États et des agences européennes, le #Niger a adopté une loi sur le trafic illicite de migrants. La loi 2015-36 établit de nouvelles formes de #contrôle des frontières pour contenir les migrations vers la Libye. Image
La loi 2015-36 n'a pas mis fin à la #mobilité des migrants dans la région, au contraire elle a poussé leurs trajectoires vers des zones encore plus reculées du #désert, créant ainsi des situations encore plus dangereuses et souvent fatales. Image
