A migrant boat capsized off Senegal's northwest coast, killing at least 39 people in one of the country's deadliest migration tragedies in recent years. France 24 reported the toll and said it would examine why so many people remain willing to risk their lives on such journeys. The report featured an interview with a guest from the International Organization for Migration on the risks of irregular crossings. The sources gave no further details on the number of passengers, any survivors or the cause of the capsizing.
