4 Migrants dead, others missing after boat capsizes off Senegal
[AFRICANEWS] A boat carrying migrants colonists capsized off the coast of Senegal
... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees...
over the weekend, leaving at least four people dead and several others missing, local authorities said on Monday.

The artisanal fishing boat left the town of Mbour, nearly 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of the capital, Dakar heading to Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
on Sunday afternoon before capsizing a few miles off the coast, Amadou Diop, the district's prefect told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

Local fishermen rescued three people who were brought back to shore by naval authorities.

Senegal’s navy is looking for those missing, Diop said, adding that the exact number of passengers remained unknown.

In recent years, the number of migrants colonists leaving West Africa through Senegal has surged with many fleeing conflict, poverty and the lack of job opportunities. Most head to the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the coast of West Africa, which is used as a stepping stone to continental Europe.

Since the beginning of the year, more than 22,300 people have landed on the Canary Islands, 126% more than the same period last year, according to statistics released by Spain’s Interior Ministry.
