In this episode, Arame & Aida talk about the recent clandestine immigration events in Senegal. On this Friday (November 13, 2020), Senegal is having a national day of mourning, in honor of the ~480 victims who lost their lives trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea. The hope of making it to Europe turned into a nightmare when they perished into the sea.
This episode is dedicated to the victims and their families.
