Fifty-two migrants have been found dead in the deserts of central Niger, near S\u00e9gu\u00e9dine.<\/p>\n

A group of 75 set out in three vehicles but were abandoned by traffickers, who feared the security forces.<\/p>\n

A local official told the BBC that dozens of bodies had been buried, and 23 survivors were taken to the town, although one later died.<\/p>\n

African migrants travel through the desert aiming to reach Libya and cross the Mediterranean to Europe.<\/p>\n

However, the journey is perilous as the migrants are crammed into pick-up trucks and have few supplies.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago Niger troops rescued 92 migrants who were on the brink of death in the Sahara Desert.<\/p>\n

The group, which included women and children, was abandoned without water and food.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
