Unmarked Graves on Senegal's Beaches: The Tragic Fate of Missing Migrants

The bodies of West African migrants attempting to reach Europe are washing ashore on the beaches of Senegal, with many being buried in unmarked graves without proper documentation or investigation. The number of migrants leaving from Senegal has surged in the past year, leading to more missing people and deaths. The dangerous route from West Africa to Spain has become one of the world's most treacherous, and the exact number of deaths is difficult to verify. Senegalese authorities release little information about the crossings or the migrants involved. The increase in migration comes amid pressure from the European Union for North and West African countries to stop migrant crossings.
