In 2019, there were nearly 17,000 unaccompanied minors: During 2019 and 2020, 75 per cent of all migrant minors arrested in Paris, France, were from just three North African countries. After seven months of hearings, deputies Jean-François Eliaou and Antoine Savignat presented on Wednesday, March 10, the report of the parliamentary information mission on security issues related to the presence of unaccompanied minors in the territory created by the National Assembly’s Law Commission.

The two deputies found that the vast majority of migrant minors being arrested in Paris are from Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, according to Le Monde.

‘Young men from Maghreb countries mostly stand out compared to other unaccompanied minors as they experienced a particularly traumatic chaotic migratory journey and then a life of aimless wandering and rejection after they arrived in France. ‘They are delinquents and drug addicts,’ notes the report. In France, in 2019, nearly 17,000 children, mainly from Guinea, Mali, and Côte d’Ivoire, were declared unaccompanied minors. 

Today, many large cities such as Bordeaux, Rennes, Montpellier, Nantes, and Toulouse are confronted with the same phenomenon. In Paris, in 2019, Algerians, Moroccans, and Tunisians represented more than 75 per cent of unaccompanied minors brought to justice. And, in 2020, according to figures from the Paris Court of Law, they represented 75 per cent of minors, or three out of four, referred to repeal. You can share this story on social media:
