Mauritanian migrants are exploring new routes to the United States, driven by economic insecurity and state violence in their home country. Social media has played a significant role in spreading information about a new immigration policy in Nicaragua, allowing Africans and Asians to obtain low-cost visas without proof of onward travel. The route involves connecting flights through Turkey, Colombia, and El Salvador, before reaching Nicaragua. The journey can cost up to $8,000, but it is seen as a preferable alternative to the dangerous sea crossing into Europe. The number of Mauritanians entering the US has increased significantly in recent months.
