PC party leader attends the protest in support of fishermen | SaltWire #newsupdate #newfoundlandGUISSONA, Spain/BARGNY, Senegal - Fisherman Khalifa Ndour says Senegalese President Macky Sall is responsible for the plunge in his country's fish stocks that forced him to risk his life to seek work as a farmhand in northeastern Spain.
Migrants such as Ndour blame the government for signing away fishing rights to the European Union and China, and the issue has become a topic of debate ahead of Sunday's Senegalese presidential election. NGOs blame foreign trawlers for a sharp decline in fish stocks. Artisanal fishermen say their catches fell by 58% between 2012 and 2019, according to a 2023 report by the Environmental Justice Foundation .Some 78% of fishermen and fish processors interviewed by EJF said they found it harder to feed their households compared with five years ago.
A record 39,910 migrants arrived from West Africa via the Canary Islands last year and that is increasing this year, Interior Ministry data show. Rights group Walking Borders says 6,007 people lost their lives on the route last year.
