The Wider Image: The fisherman from Senegal keeping Spain’s vessels

Babou Diouf, 46, a fisherman from Senegal, greets Ndiaye Sarr and her son Fatou Ndong in Burela, Galicia, Spain, October 21, 2023. Diouf was part of a migration surge in 2006 from West Africa through Spain's Canary Islands, with more than 30,000 migrants fleeing poverty exacerbated by a dramatic plunge in coastal fish stocks. This record was broken in 2023 when nearly 7,000 people died. "To see rafts arriving in Spain is very difficult," Diouf said. "To cross the ocean without knowing what you're facing - you're facing death." REUTERS/Nacho Doce
