TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Lucie PEYTERMANN
A girl who lost a family member at sea trying to reach Europe through the Atlantic route looks outside after participating in a psychosocial support session at the Diocesan Delegation for Migrations - Senegal (DDM) offices in Mbour, on March 10, 2026. For children of Senegalese migrants lost at sea, the torment of grief is long-lasting.
Known as "those who remain", the young bereaved are forced to live with the unbearable suspense or impossible grief of knowing a parent has either died or gone missing after their boat disappeared.
The number of such dead, missing and their children is at least in the thousands in Senegal as of recent years. (Photo by PATRICK MEINHARDT / AFP)
