Dakar (AFP) Sept 10, 2024

Senegal’s navy said Tuesday that at least 26 people died after a migrant boat sank off the coast two days earlier, in the latest migration-linked tragedy to occur off West Africa.

In a post on X, the navy said it had recovered “17 lifeless bodies” on Tuesday, bringing the toll to 26 after nine were initially announced dead following the Sunday shipwreck off the western town of Mbour.
