The irregular migration route from West Africa to the Canary Islands has seen intense activity, with 7,500 migrants arriving in the first ten days of the month. Senegal reported that 39 migrants died last week and others were missing. The journey is becoming increasingly dangerous because of currents, waves, and fuel shortages. Tighter controls in Morocco and Mauritania have also pushed smuggling networks to move departure points farther south, making the route longer—potentially reaching 2,400 kilometers. A Spanish organization estimated that more than 10,400 people died on this route in 2024. Officials and experts have called for stronger surveillance and action against smuggling networks, alongside a humanitarian response that balances security with migrants’ rights. They stressed that security measures alone are not enough.
