The article discusses the tragic sinking of a fishing vessel off the coast of Cape Verde, resulting in the death of over 70 young people from the village of Fasse Boye in Senegal. The young people were attempting to migrate to Europe in search of better opportunities to help their families out of poverty. The villagers express anger towards President Macky Sall and criticize the fisheries deals signed under his leadership, which they believe have caused hardship and forced them to take dangerous journeys. The Interior ministry is working to repatriate the survivors.
