Bara rests after playing football with his neighbors across his home in Mbour, on March 10, 2026. Bara lost his mother in 2024 as the pirogue she was travelling in capsized trying to reach Europe through the Atlantic route. For children of Senegalese migrants lost at sea, the torment of grief is long-lasting. Known as "those who remain", the young bereaved are forced to live with the unbearable suspense or impossible grief of knowing a parent has either died or gone missing after their boat disappeared. The number of such dead, missing and their children is at least in the thousands in Senegal as of recent years. (Photo by PATRICK MEINHARDT / AFP via Getty Images)
