塞内加尔北部海滩发现20多具遗体：一艘移民独木舟疑在近海倾覆
达喀尔 — 据塞内加尔通讯社（APS）11月7日报道，塞内加尔北部卢加地区凯贝梅尔省的 Lompoul 海滩当天下午发现20多具遗体。安全部门消息人士说，前一天有人报告一艘独木舟在该地近海倾覆。
报道说，遗体是在海滩 Tébène 一带被发现的，该地段属于 Potou 区。沉船的确切经过、船只从何处出发以及船上究竟有多少人，目前都还不清楚。
塞内加尔海岸是非正规移民乘船前往欧洲的主要出发地之一：从西非海岸出发、横渡大西洋抵达西班牙加那利群岛的航程超过1500公里，被视为全球最危险的海上移民路线之一，近年多次发生致命事故，这一最新悲剧再次凸显这条航线的风险。
当地媒体《太阳报》随后报道，死亡人数已升至21人。塞内加尔当局尚未公布遇难者的身份与国籍，事故原因仍在调查中。（来源：塞内加尔通讯社）
More Than 20 Bodies Found on Northern Senegal Beach After Suspected Migrant Boat Capsize
Dakar — More than 20 lifeless bodies were found on the afternoon of November 7 on the beach at Lompoul, in the Kébémer department of Senegal's northern Louga region, the Senegalese Press Agency (APS) reported, citing a security source. A pirogue had been reported capsized off the locality the previous day.
The bodies were discovered along the shore in the Tébène area, in the Potou sector, APS said. The exact circumstances of the wreck, where the boat had set out from, and how many people were on board remain unknown for now.
Senegal's coast is one of the main departure points for irregular migration by sea toward Europe. The Atlantic crossing from West Africa to Spain's Canary Islands stretches more than 1,500 kilometres and is considered one of the deadliest migration routes in the world, with fatal wrecks occurring repeatedly in recent years.
Local newspaper Le Soleil later reported that the death toll had risen to 21. Senegalese authorities have not yet released the identities or nationalities of the dead, and the cause of the wreck is under investigation. (Source: APS)
