This paper focuses on the plight of smuggling of migrants in Africa. Migrant smuggling has been documented along at least five major and several smaller routes in Africa. In my study, I investigate whether current legislation and policies are effective in curbing the practice of smuggling in Africa. To evaluate the success rate of these measures, I am comparing figures over recent years to establish whether there has been a decrease in the number of migrants smuggled throughout the various regions of the continent. In my work, I argue that migration can be better managed but it cannot be stopped. In this framework, in Africa, the current migration policies and cooperation efforts intended to eradicate the practice of smuggling of migrants have given mixed results.

本文重点介绍非洲偷运移民的困境。在非洲至少有 5 条主要路线和几条较小路线上记录了移民走私活动。在我的研究中，我调查了当前的立法和政策是否能有效遏制非洲的走私行为。为了评估这些措施的成功率，我比较了近年来的数字，以确定非洲大陆各个地区的偷运移民数量是否有所减少。在我的工作中，我认为可以更好地管理迁移，但不能停止。在此框架内，在非洲，旨在消除偷运移民做法的现行移民政策和合作努力取得了好坏参半的结果。
