The Senegalese Navy carried out an important rescue operation at sea on Saturday. At sea off Dakar, a canoe from a neighbouring country, carrying 282 candidates for illegal emigration, was intercepted. This new episode illustrates the magnitude of the migration phenomenon in the region. In recent weeks, several departure attempts have been reported from the West African coast, at the risk of many human lives.
