大象传媒

The 大象传媒鈥檚 Africa Eye has been following one man鈥檚 journey as he travels hundreds of miles on the open ocean in the hopes of reaching Europe. Mouhamed is one of a growing number of people attempting to travel from Senegal to Spain鈥檚 Canary Islands.
The journey is ten times longer than the boats crossing the Mediterranean, taking days and sometimes week across parts of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also riskier and more lethal.

Caitriona Perry speaks to Blanca Munoz and Efrem Gebreab who followed Mouhamed鈥檚 journey for the 大象传媒鈥檚 Africa Eye.
