BBC Cape Verde boat disaster: 'My brother died for a dream we all have' 18 Aug 2023

 …僕の兄弟は死んだよなあ…というインタビュー記事。

The brother of a man who died after a boat carrying dozens of migrants was found off Cape Verde has told the BBC they were trying to reach Spain.

More than 60 people are feared to have died on the boat, which was at sea for over a month. Most were from Senegal.

"Everyone is shocked. He was one of the pillars of our family," Mamour Ba said about his brother Cheikhouna.


 多くがセネガルのとある村からでていった人々だというので、現地ではかなり荒れたらしい。そりゃそうだ。

Three of his brothers and one of his cousins were on the wooden pirogue style boat that set off for Europe on 10 July from Fass Boye with 101 people on board.

After news of the tragedy spread in Fass Boye, where most of those on board the boat hailed from, anger erupted on Wednesday.

 では、なんでまたそうまで大量に出稼ぎに出るかって、そりゃあ現地では食えないから。このインタビューの人物は、27歳で、大学に通ったひとだが、そもそも在学中・3学年時に渡航を試みたのだという。9か月も機を見て、失敗したそうだが。

"There was nothing for me here... so I decided I needed to try to move to Europe via Morocco," he said, speaking of his first attempt during his third year at university.

Things did not work out though, and he was forced to return home after spending nine months there.


 この人物の兄弟たるCheikhounaにしてもこれが二度目の試みだったと。…これ、ヨーロッパ行きの手段の按配の販売が一大産業になってしまって、業者を富ませる一方、一般人の一般生活が壊滅的に破壊されちゃってないかな。

"This latest trip was Cheikhouna's second attempt at getting to Europe by boat. Three days after we came back, he had set off again," Mr Ba said.

Mr Ba knows it is risky to try to board another boat to Europe, but it comes down to finances.

"I don't have the money to take a plane. It's better to pay 300,000 CFA ($480, £375) or 400,000 CFA to go to Spain than to spend millions trying to get there by plane."


 …お金があれば飛行機で行けるんだがーというわけで。
 西アフリカの行き詰まりを目の当たりにできる、そんな記事である。

 その事故自体を報じる記事は:

BBC More than 60 migrants feared dead at sea off Cape Verde coast 17 Aug 2023 By Joe Inwood, Suzanne Leigh, and Christy Cooney

More than 60 people are feared dead after a boat carrying migrants was found off Cape Verde in West Africa.

Thirty-eight people, including children, were rescued, with footage showing them being helped ashore, some on stretchers, on the island of Sal.

Almost all those on board the boat, which was at sea for over a month, are thought to have been from Senegal.


The boat left the Senegalese fishing village of Fasse Boye on 10 July with 101 people on board, Senegal's foreign ministry said on Tuesday, citing survivors.
