The European Union has opened its first African migration centre to deter illegal immigrants.
The centre for migration information and management has been set up in the West African country of Mali, a key transit point for African migrants heading to Europe. It is aimed at advising would-be immigrants, and deterring them from making perilous journeys by risky vessels across the Mediterranean. Hundreds of Africans die each year trying to make such crossings.
