330,000
The Sahel has become a key corridor and dangerous departure point for those migrating north from sub-Saharan Africa. From 2014 to 2016, as many as 330,000 people attempted the journey north. Hard security approaches to this challenge have only made the passage more dangerous and enriched illicit actors.
