Alarme Phone Sahara

Alarm Phone Sahara (APS) is a collaborative project between associations and individuals in the Sahel-Saharan region and Europe. Members of the Alarm Phone Sahara network are based in Niger, Mali, Togo, Morocco, Mauritania, Germany, and Austria. APS headquarters are located in Agadez, Niger.

There is also a network of road observers in northern Niger who provide assistance to people in distress, particularly those expelled from Algeria or Libya.

Specifically, APS pursues four objectives: a) To raise awareness among migrants and potential migrants not only about the conditions and dangers of the desert, but also about their rights. This awareness-raising takes place in places of origin, bus stations, and along the roads. b) Document what is really happening on migration routes in the Sahel-Saharan region, including crimes, human rights violations, and roadside harassment. c) Rescue migrants in distress in the desert – either while heading north or after being forcibly expelled, primarily from North African countries. d) Denounce regional, sub-regional, national, and international anti-migration policies. www.alarmephonesahara.info
