BBC Africa Eye investigates what is fast becoming the worldโs deadliest migration route: the perilous Atlantic crossing from West Africa to Spainโs Canary Islands.
Facing days, even weeks, on the open ocean, this year more than 70,000 irregular migrants and refugees have attempted this treacherous journey in overcrowded wooden boats.
From Senegal, it is an estimated distance of between 1,000km (600 miles) and 2,000km on the Atlantic Ocean to the Canary Islands.
The Canary Islands regional government warns that what awaits migrants on the rocky shores is a system โoverwhelmedโ and โat breaking pointโ.
An estimated 807 people have died or disappeared on the Atlantic route so far in 2024 โ a number that is likely to be significantly higher, because fatal accidents tend to go unrecorded.

Stay safe making these kind of journeys.
Japan does not have this problem
Hell you got enough trees. Learn to build bigger and better boats. The UK/EU are fucked. Enjoy the diversity.
But won't risk his life solving the problems in his own country ?

The God of the unvirse and all has give this news. Jesus Christ are lord and savior and son of god is returning at any hour now to take us home. he will come in shout of the archangel saying your name and to come up here, with the trumpet blowing all across earth that can make a world wide earthquake. dead and alive will change to body like christ an rise to meet to lord to heaven, an being rapture ready simple an easy. 1. believe that Jesus died on the cross and spilled his own blood for your sins (past, present, and future), was buried and rose on the third day from the dead in glory, heart and soul an meaning. 2. admit your a sinner and your need him to save you. 3. you pray to him on part 1 and 2 an repent your sins on him and his blood and in faith and trust and believe in him to save you. also try in these last days to walk like christ, if you messed up or sin, don panic for your sins are payed by his blood. past, present, and future sins. his morals and ways are greater then are own and i asks you seek not sinning as possible to show god you care about him. his blood cleans you and forgives you of sins. Because as Scripture say. "throw faith and grace you are save not by your own works yet anyone can boast". if reading this part you been left behind to face gods wraith and face the mark of the beast. were a person will have it on there right hand or forehead. it will be the only way to buy and sell anything. taking this mark is a unforgivable sin and forever dam to the second death. So if you stay behind donโt take the mark stay in faith to Jesus and resist cause they will chop your head off, let it happen if captured. For this time will be hell on earth. Lucifer/antichrist will force you to take it. Do not accept it choose death. i pray you and many get saved and my fellow christians spread the word. Jesus loves us and nothing can separate us from him and faith and grace gets us saved. salvation and eternal life is a free gift from god nothing we earned or gained. Please it is important to spread this message to many. Jesus is your only way to avoid it. the signs are showing, more disasters and wars and suffering has increase dramatically. i pray to all see the true and believe.this is serious we may go any day now. ask an he will help you. An keep your bibles safe they will guide you in grand tribulation and Lucifer will try to destroy them. once we leave there be ww3, attacks on Israel and must of major powers destroyed. For there be 21 wraiths on this earth 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 bowels. that will make earth be hell on earth and most of the population would be dead so preparers you will not survived nor win against Lucifer. also there be two witnesses who will preach the news for the first half of the tribulation, kill by Lucifer and resurrected on the third day and rise back to heaven. there be disasters and plagues like rivers an oceans to blood, water turning bitter/poisonous and leads to some to death by wormwood astroid, scorpion with human like face and crowns will give those who have not accepted christ agonizing pain an people wont die when this plague happen for five months. scorch earth on the sun burns up earth, earthquakes tsunamis, will come on the earth and you be a hellish time to those left behind. an people who take the mark with have the worst punishing in the tribulation. At the end of the 7 year tribulation jesus turns to earth with is saints not during the tribultaion. Jesus on his white horse wearing a white robes with garment in red saying lord of lords, king of kings and his saints (us christian who died and raptured) will charge and defeat Lucifer, his followers and unbelievers and he will be cast back to the pit and Jesus will rule us for 1000 year. then Lucifer will try again and god will stop him for good and he and his follower and people who are not in the lambs book will be cast into lake of fire/second death. then the new Jerusalem, earth, and heaven will come and god will dwell in us forever with no sin, pain, evil, suffer are all gone. if you get behund do not faer, cry or be dismay. you can still be save just have to martyer for christ. you die but it be quick an temproaly pain. the wars with russia, china, iran, iserial, ulkraine, and taiwan are all time high and about to break out world war 3 soon. spread the word far and wide. man rule on earth coming to an end.

No one in their right mind whos born in a hopeless dirt poor glorified junkyard of a country would want to stay put. Silly to even begin to consider
No offense…but europe is full. Fix your own country's problems.
Anything but fix what they have going on at home. Just run away and go to somewhere they donโt relate to, not respect their culture/women/children, not assimilate. No no. Youโre asking too much of these people for them to respect your culture and be thankful

'Irregular migrants' the fluffy language of the left. They are Illeagal no matter how the left try and spin it.
STOP THE BOATS TO THE UK, REFORM 2029
Why are our taxes paying for this?
'fleeing' poverty is not grounds for refugee status. therefore they are economic migrants and should be sent back
Canary Islands have seen a MASSIVE increase in assaxults and raxpes since these guys started flooding in. The true victims are young European women, not these invaders.
