[1/5] Senegalese Navy members are seen on board the patrol boat 'Walo', as they search for illegal migrants, in the Senegalese high seas, November 2, 2023. We will reach Spain, or we will die," one man shouted into the night as he climbed on board. The numbers had dropped as most migrants chose land routes through the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. The Walo has intercepted around 4,000 migrants and 30 boats since launching operations in August, another officer on the boat said. In August, a boat carrying over 100 migrants from Senegal was found adrift near Cape Verde.

MADRID, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Spanish police said on Saturday they had seized 32 tonnes of packaged marijuana with a street value of at least 64 million euros ($63.74 million), which they said was the largest amount ever found in Spain or internationally. Police raided a series of farms and production plants across Spain in an operation called Gardens. "The Civil Guard has seized the largest cache of packaged marijuana found so far," Spain's Civil Guard said in a statement. "It was equivalent to approximately 1.1 million plants." Police said the gang dried the marijuana plants, packaged them and sent them to parts of Spain, Switzerland, Holland, Germany and Belgium.
