[Foroyaa] In spite of the increasing number of reports of deaths at sea of Gambians and other West Africans who risk their lives to venture into a perilous journey across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe in search of greener pastures, Gambians who have lost hope of a good life in their homeland, out of desperation, often defy all odds to go against the tide and take this very dangerous journey. Even mothers have taken the risk with their babies or children.
