Guinea: Stranded migrants return home

A group of 17 Guinean migrants intercepted by the Moroccan navy as they attempted to reach the Canary Islands in small open boats, have been helped to return home voluntarily by IOM. The group, who had begun their sea journey to Europe from the Senegalese coast before being intercepted towards the end of August, had been stranded in the coastal town of Dhakla until their government asked IOM to provide voluntary return assistance for the group.
