The death toll from the alleged sinking of a canoe carrying candidates for irregular emigration has risen, from four to 21 dead.

This Saturday, the coasts of Loumpoul, in the Kébémer department, offer a particularly macabre spectacle. The lifeless bodies are lined up next to each other on the shore.

The gendarmerie and firefighters are continuing search operations, in the hope of finding other victims.

According to our source, most of the victims came from the communes of Léona and Thiéppe. This tragedy plunges populations into turmoil and dismay.

For now, the remains are being transported to the Kébémer health district.

In recent times, the phenomenon of irregular emigration, with its share of tragic consequences, is becoming more and more widespread. Faced with this persistent problem, it is becoming urgent to find lasting solutions to stem this scourge.
