Illegal Migration

Abstract

Various and interconnected phenomena emerge during specific periods, shaped by the circumstances and data that constitute them and according to the circumstances imposed by the reality that humans contribute to forming. Our contemporary historical era is characterized by the diversity and differences of these phenomena. Since the end of World War II, several factors have emerged that threaten human and humanitarian entities due to the multiplicity and overlap of human interests. These problems pose a danger to security and stability, such as environmental pollution, arms race, drugs, terrorism, and especially illegal migration (Haraga), which has worsened and spread since the 1990s to the present, taking new and previously unknown forms.

Illegal migration to Europe has worsened due to the harsh reality experienced by the people of the African continent, including political instability, lack of security, and widespread poverty in most countries on the continent. Algeria, like other Arab countries, has not been immune to this phenomenon. The situation has been exacerbated due to migration from impoverished North Africa, where the northern side is reluctant to receive more migrants.
