Left behind: The untold story of the women of Senegal | Al Jazeera World Documentary
Thousands of people, mainly young men, have attempted the hazardous 1,500km (930-mile) boat journey from West Africa to the Canary Islands.
The United Nations-affiliated International Organization for Migration calls them “irregular migrants” and records the numbers who fail to complete the journey. In 2022, 543 people drowned in 45 boat…

The Senegalese and Gambian governments need to sort this out!! Selling our seas to foreign company’s leaving our people with nothing we were people who survived on fishing and now we don’t even have the small fish left in our seas!! AFRICA WAKE UP YOUR CHILDREN ARE DYING
Ce qui manque à ces pays sous-développés, c'est l'éducation au sens même du terme. Chez eux, faire des gosses, c'est un réel investissement financier pour toute la tribu. Un travaille et envoie de l'argent depuis l'étranger à la famille ( père, mère, cousine, tante, tonton, petits cousins et j'en passe et on sait à quel prix on gagne son pain en Occident, qu'il pleuve, qu'il vente, qu'il neige avec tes températures qu'ils ne peuvent même pas imaginer. Lever à 4h, 5h du matin pour être au travail à 8 ou 9h le matin. Parfois, selon notre lieu d'habitation, nous pouvons passer 3 à 4 h dans les transports. Ils ne savent pas par manque d'instruction et justement d' éducation . C'est terrible pour celui sur lequel tout doit peser. J'en connais plein qui ont cesser le contact avec leur famille à cause de tout ça. Ils n'arrivaient même pas à payer leur loyer en occident. Foutaises tout ça. Je conseille ne pas envoyer de l'argent en Afrique, ce n'est pas leur rendre service.
Lorsque l Afrique va a unité ce sont mes européen ki viendront chez nous
China!? Why didn't you mention the the Senegal government signed away all fishing rights to Chinese trawlers? I was in Dakar, Senegal last December 2023 and that what the locals told me; and I researched it and it's true. This is a big story in Dakar. How could you leave out a major fact like this disaster was caused by the government and China? (( search on youtube: Overfishing in Senegal: Chinese trawlers leave local fishermen with empty nets ))
Very touching and I'm so sad to know this is happening. No economy, no infrastructure, no access NO HELP😢
There's legal immigration process. Don't burden country. If you have $10,000 to pay smugglers use the money to start a business in your own country
Illegal immigrants are criminals and it's costing countries billion to protect their border ….. why are these illegal immigrants and the smugglers are getting away with destabilizing peaceful countries
Humanitarian are working for smugglers – Humanitarian are smugglers – they should be prosecuted as smugglers. They are picking up illegal immigrants and dumping illegal immigrants on sovereign peaceful countries to destabilize them.

Illegal immigrants are criminals breaking the legal process for immigration

Courage mes soeurs❤if African leaders would stop fattening themselves no African would have to go over seas for better life. East or West home is best
Thank you for this documentary. It's so critical these stories are told. Heartfelt and very sad for these families. It would have been good to hear more about if the government is doing anything about illegal offshore fishing by foreign boats. It's very difficult to monitor bycatch even in functional, well managed fisheries. IT must be near impossible when there is indifference and widespread corruption in the government…
We want change in Africa, yet foreign religion you do not about you practice.
Do Senegalese pay taxes?
bad translation
I’m a high yellow black man, I would love to marry one of these dark chocolate beautiful women ❤😂❤
💞💝💗💖💕💓❣️
african leadership must selfishnet and start deveveloping their countries,so that their citizens will stop running away
🙏🏾
It’s sad I don’t know why they keep silence careless or just mad crazy
All that for the oil and gas exploration.
Seismic surveys involve powerful airguns blasting the seas at 10-second intervals and measuring the echoes off the sea floor to help map offshore oil and natural gas fields — in the process disturbing, injuring and killing marine mammals and other wildlife nobody is saying ……
Im really happy to work in this beautiful documentary as producer in Senegal with my crew and Mostafa Bouazzaoui for Aljazeera. It was a fantastic experience with beautiful people instead of there different stories. Proud of the result. Thanks Mostafa.
Almost All the Asian & African Countries are Suffering from Same Problems 🤔 mainly because of the Western Countries 🤫But being Hard Working 👍🏻still doing their best 🙏🏻 Alhumdolillah 🕋👍🏻✅ Sohail Karachi Pakistan 🌹
This is sad but who's fault is it? I see the American flag as the African lady passing. They have been stripped from their resources and left with nothing. So I don't understand why no one is connecting the dots. This is still happening across the nation. The road is crook crooked for decades. This must stop now.
Break the spirit of traditions. We are where we are because of our past decisions and we will be where we will be where we will be in the future because of the decisions made now. A wiseman Christopher Orji once said
“Where God guides he provides. But where he does not guide, poverty, sickness, disease, hardship, and the likes seem to be the order of the day.”
You have to watch what you are doing daily if you want to see different results.
This is only the government’s fault!! They don’t care about there own people. I really hate most of the African leaders!!!!!
Sénégal’s president Macky Sall is the worst and most stupid president in the world!!! He gave fishing license to countries like China, EU and India and they are fish out everything with huge boats and equipments. Fishermen in Senegal are unemployed that’s why there leaving Senegal
As a Wollof speaker, the subtitles are pretty accurate. Kudos!
Im from Gambia which is literally inside Senegal but never heard of the Lebou tribe!
Wow 😢 what an emotional documentary. Sending love and prayers to our beautiful mothers. Love from Your Zambian family.
Thanks to my favorite channel Aljazeera English from senegalese citizen
Actually the women are better off breeding with men who aren't so dumb as to try such a crazy thing. – Charles Darwin
Its really sad to watch as a Senegalese, may Allah keeps helping us and forgives the ones that past. Thank you for documentary, you did a great job!
funny how no one mentions the No1 driver of all this desperation.. – a huge population explosion in Africa… the die is cast, there is no way out and no one else to blame.. no sympathy for those who think they can have as many children as they like with no consequences.. then add in the "God delusion"… what sick nonsense.. funny how all these Africans who talk about evil Europe all want to go there to be ruled by the evil White man.. what a load of hypocrites..
I blame the men, the men have failed their Women 🚶🏾♀️
As A African American single Woman no kids no husband alone is all I know ..I prefer safety over company.i have never felt Safe ,even though I'm a Badd Ass ..life is such a challenge but to do it alone is unexplainable 💯🐎🍷🎉😣😆🥲☺️🙏🦋
Peace, love and strength to all those beautiful mothers, wives and sisters.
The problem of African continent is the our system education and professional formation. It's a base very important for development of a country !!!
