In just 21 days, between 4 and 25 November 2025, 1,960 Gambians left by sea for the Canary Islands.
The figures are devastating:
1,560 men
224 women
126 minors
A newborn only 7 days old
24 confirmed deaths
And expect more to embark on the journey this December.
Few days ago mother died at the sea while trying to get to Spain through the canary island and her two children survived, now they are alone in Europe, traumatized and without family.
Let’s ask this questions
What makes a mother choose the ocean over her home?
Everything is temporary, don't stress. don't change your vibe to fit in someone's life. teach your heart to accept disappointments. being alone is better than being with fake people. forget those who forget you. it's ok to miss people and still not want them back.
Last week, I was invited by The Dream Achievers to a radio talk show on a topic of The impact of irregular migration on Gambian communities at paradise fm. I share my migration story and contribute on ways Gambians and government who do to support the reintegration of returnees.
It saddens me to see fellow young peoples dying in the “Backway” journey.
I join the rest of my town. Basse to mourn the death of our brother’s that passed away while trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea through Tunisia to Italy.
