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 118 degrees Fahrenheit.
In Niger, where the majority head, the lucky ones limp across a desolate 10-mile 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.
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.

These people aren’t wanted anywhere, but to abandon them totally is inhumane. Maybe sending them back to their own unfortunate nations might be the right course of action to take. At the very least arrange for that to happen. There simply are no happy solutions for the world’s unwanted poor.
Europe cannot absorb any more wanderers from elsewhere; the continent is FULL UP!
