STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSDAKAR - Senegalese authorities on Monday brought home 37 migrants who were rescued off the coast of Cape Verde last week after their boat was stranded without fuel in the Atlantic Ocean for weeks.
They were among 101 passengers that left Senegal via boat on July 10 - one of many to attempt the treacherous crossing from the coast of West Africa to the Canary Islands, typically used by African migrants trying to reach Spain. "Some said it lasted eight days, others 12. Their food ran out very fast," the doctor, Medoune Ndiaye, told reporters in Sal before boarding.
"It is God's will, we can do nothing about it," said Abdou Karim Sarr, who lost his son on the boat, as he stood on the tarmac.
