EMIGRANT...........

Most of the people who choose to leave Africa for Europe and beyond DO NOT get past Tanger - there are very strict controls in Tanger.

99% of peeps who finish up in the UK from Africa leave West Africa, crammed anything up to 100 to the ramshackle boat, which heads for the Canaries (Spanish Protectorate), where they are provided for and are shipped onto mainland Europe in due course.

Until such time as there are stricter controls on the seas between the Canaries and West Africa (Senegal in particular) then, it follows that these peeps will chance their luck (and their life) in reaching the Canaries.
