Manage episode 493719825 series 3319479
In this episode of Fractured we discuss the complexity of migration dynamics in West Africa, particularly focusing on Senegal and Mauritania. Monika Prończuk, a correspondent for the Associated Press, discusses the increasing trends of migration, the push factors driving individuals to leave their homes, and the role of smugglers in facilitating these journeys. The conversation highlights the economic challenges faced by these countries, the impact of overfishing on local communities, and the cultural perspectives surrounding migration. Additionally, the discussion touches on the challenges of reporting from the region and the implications of EU policies on migration.
