*Senegal was historically a '''destination country'''' for neighboring economic migrants, but in recent decades '''West African migrants more often use Senegal as a transit point to North Africa''', or as a stop before continuing illegally onward to Europe. | |||
*The country also has been '''host to several thousand black Mauritanian refugees''' since they were expelled from Mauritania during the 1989 border conflict with Senegal. | |||
*The country's '''economic crisis in the 1970s''' stimulated emigration; departures accelerated from the 1990s. Destinations shifted from neighboring countries to '''Libya and Mauritania'''', because of their booming oil industries, and to '''France, Italy and Spain'''.<ref>"Demographics of Senegal: Emigration", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Senegal#Emigration, accessed 29 July 2021.</ref> | |||
