This report examines the experiences of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa living in Algeria and Morocco, where many have become “stuck” in their attempts to get to Europe due to the controls imposed by the EU and its member states’ governments, particularly in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. While the political analysis in the report is limited – at one point “Europe and its respect for human rights” is mentioned without any critical comment on the situation of migrants and refugees within Europe – it does a good job of detailing the hardships experienced by refugees, asylum-seekers and undocumented migrants living in Algeria and Morocco. This includes information on limited access to healthcare and education; racism in the police and wider society; raids, detention and deportations; and lack of legal procedure or effective identification of persons who may qualify for international protection.
