More than 130 migrants were rescued off the coast of Mauritania, per Arab News. The operation was conducted by the Mauritanian Navy and international aid organizations.

The region remains tense amid geopolitical struggles between Washington and Moscow over Western Sahara, as reported by Atalayar. Mauritania finds itself in a delicate balancing act between global powers.

Expelled migrants have voiced their grievances, saying they are treated as less than human, according to Infomigrants. The situation highlights the vulnerability of displaced populations along the coast.
