Tragedy at Sea: 24 Dead as Migrant Boats Capsize Near Madagascar.
Two boats carrying Somali migrants capsized off Madagascar's northern coast, leaving at least 24 dead. The vessels, which carried 70 passengers, experienced engine failures and were found adrift in the Indian Ocean. Survivors, rescued by local fishermen, revealed they were heading to the French island of Mayotte, a common but perilous migration route.Somalia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working to facilitate the survivors' safe return, while Madagascan authorities warned against illegal migration risks. Poverty and unemployment in the Horn of Africa continue to push many to seek better opportunities despite the dangers.
