Over the last three years the phenomenon of illegal immigration east and west of Algeria, from Al Kala to Al Ghazaouat, made the event and undisputed the national newspapers with sad news and tragedies, just as the tragedies and pain of thousands of families and groans of mothers did.

• On the fifth day of last Ramadan, services of the border guards of Annaba, east of Algeria, arrested “B.Kamal” 22, “M.Youcef” 28, “A.Walid” 25, they are friends from Skikda, east of Algeria, who tried to reach Rotterdam through hiding in the chimney of the Dutch cargo ship, which was obliged to stop at Annaba port, after its engine broke down, and the crew launched a monitoring operation of the structures of the ship, and they found the illegal immigrants hiding in the chimney, that’s why they called the security services, which arrested them after a half night of joy and hopes which turned to pains after the youngsters came before the investigation judge of Annaba court, on charges of illegal immigration.
