The figures released by the "Frontex" agency indicate a noticeable shift in the methods and routes of clandestine migration toward Europe from January to June 2026. Algerians topped the list of Arab migrants, with over 4,000 attempts in six months, most of which involved sea crossings across the Mediterranean to reach Spain. Sudanese migrants rank second due to the political situation and wars in their country, focusing on Libyan networks to choose between routes to Italy and Greece. Additionally, Morocco and Egypt recorded more than 2,000 attempts each, via different routes; Egyptians often head toward the Balkans, while Moroccans prefer the Atlantic route to the Canary Islands along southern Moroccan coasts. The data also show a significant decline in the numbers of Syrians, after their routes were among the busiest during the 2015 crisis, which saw nearly 600,000 refugees entering Europe. That number gradually decreased due to field and political changes, especially after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024, leading to a major shift in migration paths from the eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans.
