Niger’s
interior ministry has informed news agents that 34 migrants have been
found dead in the Niger desert near Assamaka a border post between Niger and
Algeria. This includes 5 men, nine women and 20 children. It’s been assumed
that they were abandoned by people smugglers while trying to get to neighbouring
country Algeria.
A source told AFP that “They probably died of thirst, as is often the case”.
