- Legenda: Fisherman Birane Mbaye (C), one of the survivors of a disastrous attempt to reach Spain last year on a boat that drifted hundreds of miles off course and ended up off the Cape Verde archipelago, watches an electoral campaign caravan of Aliou Mamadou Dia, a presidential candidate in Fass Boye, Senegal, March 19, 2024. Entrenched poverty and tales of fortunes earned abroad drove Mbaye to squeeze onto the boat bound for Spain's Canary Islands, some 1,400 km (870 miles) from his village. Record numbers attempted the perilous Atlantic crossing last year after other routes to Europe across the Sahara Desert and Mediterranean Sea became more heavily policed. Over 39,900 people reached the Canary Islands from West Africa, an all-time high, according to Spain's interior ministry. REUTERS/Zohra Bensemra SEARCH "BENSEMRA SENEGAL FISHING" FOR THIS STORY.
