Senegal: near Dakar, the drama of illegal emigration does not dissuade candidates from leaving

Senegal near Dakar the drama of illegal emigration does not

The drama of illegal emigration and its macabre almost daily counts continues in Senegal. Since September, the figures have been dizzying: with more than 32,000 people from the country landing in the Canary Islands in a few weeks, but also dozens of deaths almost every week. On November 9, 2023, President Macky Sall called for emergency security and economic measures to be taken. But during this time, nothing seems to stop the exodus of young Senegalese by sea, as in the town of Bargny, 30 kilometers from Dakar.
