Senegalese Authorities Intercept Over 400 Migrants in Major Operation

More than 400 migrants were intercepted at two separate times and locations between Monday night and Tuesday morning.

The Directorate of Public Relations of the Senegalese Armed Forces announced on X that the intercepted individuals are of various nationalities.

In recent months, Senegalese authorities have increasingly seized people onboard canoes in the country’s territorial waters, attempting to reach Europe.

However, Monday’s operation marks the highest single arrest of migrants to date.
