The source specifies that "The data presented refer to detections of illegal border-crossing rather than the number of persons, as the same person may cross the external border several times. However, there is currently no EU system in place capable of tracing each person’s movements following an illegal border-crossing. Therefore, it is not possible to establish the precise number of persons who have illegally crossed the external border."
"The Western African route connects Senegal, The Gambia, Mauritania and Morocco (including the Western Sahara region), with the Canary Islands in Spain."
