SENEGAL VOWS CRACKDOWN ON HUMAN SMUGGLERS AFTER LOMPOUL BOAT DISASTER KILLS 39
Senegal’s Interior Minister Mouhamadou Makhtar Cissé has promised tougher action against human-smuggling networks after a migrant pirogue capsized off Lompoul, killing at least 39 people. Only one survivor has been found, while the number still missing remains unknown because authorities do not know exactly how many passengers were aboard. Search teams are continuing operations along approximately 25 kilometers of coastline, and 24 bodies had been identified and returned to families by Monday.
