Several North African countries, including Morocco, Mauritania, and Tunisia, have received financial support from European funds to prevent migrants from entering Europe, according to the Spanish newspaper El País.The European Union's (EU) funding requires these countries to crack down on illegal migrants or make their lives more difficult, particularly targeting the black population. The investigation found severe cases of violence near the Moroccan border with Mauritania. Survivors describe being beaten, having dogs set on them, and enduring other forms of torture. These brutal acts leave migrants unable to continue their journey, effectively halting their efforts to reach Europe. Confidential documents support these claims, exposing the collaboration between the EU and the North African countries to control migration. The report by El País highlights the dire consequences of these actions on the migrant population and sheds light on the harsh measures used to prevent their movement towards Europe.

Migrants from conflict-ridden regions of sub-Saharan Africa particullary, along with others from around the world, often risk their lives on overcrowded and unsafe boats to escape their country, driven by the ongoing crisis of illegal migration to Europe that has dramatically increased over the past decade.

The European Union's (EU) funding requires these countries to crack down on illegal migrants or make their lives more difficult, particularly targeting the black population. The investigation found severe cases of violence near the Moroccan border with Mauritania.
