M'bour, Senegal. Two Senegalese fishermen head out to sea in a small pirogue (traditional wooden canoe). These fishermen will often spend days at sea in these small pirogues (wooden canoes). With no lights or navigation aids, not even a compass, this is an extremely hazardous occupation. Power is supplied by a small outboard engine, often of great age. Many boats are lost in rough seas. They also run the risk of being run down by large trawlers or container vessels as without lights or communications they are completely invisible. Despite the risks, poverty and lack of other employment means the number of fishermen grows each year.
C’est la tristesse et la consternation au quartier Golf de Mbour. Selon la Rfm, « un jeune pêcheur a été tué par une foudre en haute mer ».
Selon le grand frère du jeune pêcheur, « c’est au moment où il pleuvait qu’une foudre est tombée à quelques mètres de notre pirogues que mon frère est tombé dans le coup, au fond de l’eau ».
A noter que c’est le mercredi que les pêcheurs sont partis en mer, avant que ne survienne l’incident jeudi. Toujours, la Rfm informe que « les recherches sont en cours pour retrouver le jeune pêcheur, conformément au vœu de sa famille », selon Igfm.
