The tragic incident took place in the Atlantic en route from West Africa to Spain’s Canary Islands. The ship named ‘Makeshift Boat’ was carrying a total of 80 people. But only 11 survived.
The Canary Islands are far from mainland Spain. Closer to Africa. Many people from West African countries like Mali, Senegal, Mauritania migrate to the Canary Islands in search of work to escape political unrest and violence. This passage across the Atlantic Ocean is extremely dangerous.
The mayor of Mali’s Marina clan said nine of the dead were youths from his clan. They left home seven months ago to work in the construction industry in Mauritania. In this context, the mayor said, “They had contact with friends from Europe and America. They used to ask them to go there for work. In many cases, they went home without telling anything.” By all accounts, 10,000 people die each year trying to get to Spain this way. It is the most dangerous road for migrants in Africa. According to some organizations, about 30 people die every day. Why African migrants do not live this dangerous road because the distance from Morocco to the mainland of Spain is 14 kilometers.
