Tragic Journey: Four Brothers' Perilous Migration Ends in Heartbreak

Four brothers from Senegal embarked on a perilous journey from Senegal to the Canary Islands, a dangerous migrant route in the North Atlantic. After five weeks at sea, only one brother, Adama, survived. The pirogue they were on, carrying 101 people, drifted for weeks without being noticed. The brothers faced starvation, dehydration, and witnessed the deaths of 63 people. Poverty and lack of opportunities in Senegal drive many young people to risk their lives on these dangerous migration routes. Despite the tragedies, some fishermen in Senegal are still willing to take the risk.
