The objective of the paper is to explore in a comparative way the migratory dynamics of the population from sub-Saharan Africa to Argentina and Malta between 2010 and 2018. The choice of both countries is due to the fact that they share historical characteristics as both receiving and expelling countries. population, with relatively recent and minority African migrations; but that they have acquired great notoriety due to their presence in the main urban centers.
To carry out the work, I use statistical sources, as well as semi-structured interviews and observations of sub-Saharan African migrants and members of NGOs working on migration issues, both in Malta and Argentina.
The comparison between both countries centered on the movement of the Senegalese collective in particular, has allowed us to observe common circulation dynamics to which I have called multiple mobilities, to refer to the various stages that comprise their movements, which include intracontinental, extracontinental and internal flows, following commercial routes facilitated by community networks.
