Hundreds of new boats carrying migrants reach Canary Islands

Hundreds of boats carrying at least 1,000 migrants have landed in the Canary Islands over the past week.
The Red Cross says the Spanish islands haven't seen numbers like that since 2006.
Most of the people making the journey come from West Africa.
Al Jazeera's Nicolas Haque has more from Senegal’s capital Dakar.

[@bkktirak]

young men seeking their fortune should be honored. Its a human right to seek the fortune. They risk their lives for a better future just as we did, when we went to Amerika. Shame on Europe. We subsidice tomatoes, onions and whatever and export it to africa at dumping prices. No wonder these young men take the risk. Nobody leaves its family and country just for fun. They are not tourists as we are. We should respect them and blame our policies. My pray is with every single person who risks its live for a better future right now. Be strong and God bless you!
