Over 60 migrants are believed to have died in a boat sinking off the coast of Cape Verde. The boat, which left Senegal in early July, was found by a Spanish fishing vessel. Out of the 101 passengers, 63 are presumed dead, 38 survived, and 56 are missing. The survivors were all Senegalese, except for one Bissau-Guinean. Cape Verde is a common migration route for Africans seeking a better life in Europe, often facing dangerous journeys on small boats. The Cape Verdean authorities and Senegal are working to assist the survivors and repatriate the victims.
