    I feel awful for these folks--this is like NAFTA in the US. We were so upset with Mexican people coming up to the US, that many americans never realized it's because WE were destroying their corn industry. Same as Europe is destroying their fishing.

      You are incredibly naive.
      Mexico is a corrupt narco-state , only until recently it was a one-party kleptocracy.
      There are numerous reasons why we have 40-50 million Mexican nationals in the US , and corn , or whatever , is not one of them.
      Cartel violence, a stone-age economic system that doesn't create opportunity , and the fact that many Mexicans emigrate to US because most of their family is already here.
      Please refrain from spouting nonsense.

    There's no good future for them in Europe either, if they can make it here alive. Only more hard work and a hard life far away from one's family. It's tragic in so many ways. And little is done to treat the causes, like fishing rights, there's only talk about how to stop the symptoms at our borders. That's far too late.

      I wish I could find it again, but years ago I read a thing by an Indian guy who left India to come to the US. He described his his parents had a 2-room house. So this guy comes here to the US to work, and is apart from his family and friends, and in the end he ends up old, single, lonely as hell (and how he's dealing with ageism in tech) and all he can show for it is .... his apartment has 3 rooms.

      Another entitled crybaby. Did you watch the video at all? What you percieve as hard work has mostly died out in Europe 50-100 years ago. Your grandparents and your great grandparents might have known very hard labour, depending on where they lived and what they did. You most likely live incredibly comfortably in comparison, even if you work in a factory or warehouse. These people know true hard work with little to no success, that's why they are ready to risk life and limb to do your "hard work" instead.

      @@aljosacebokli Did you read my comment? I'm talking about the work conditions for immigrants, which is nothing like the work conditions for Europeans. Not to mention the racism they will encounter in society. I know it's still better than the hopeless situation that causes them to risk their lives, but Europe is not what they think it is.

    Heartbreaking how down to the point this one is. If Europeans empty the local fisheries with industrial trawling, destroying bottom habitats in the process, it's no surprise people are leaving. A huge contributing factor.

      Its not so black and white as the guardian presents it here (lousy journalism!) Spain + France has fishing rights but they pay huge annual fees + a fee on each catch in their waters. The problems lie with the Sengalese governments that's corrupt and misuses the funds.

    Is this a EU fishing treaty or is it just between France and Senegal?
    I visited Dakar and a bit of Senegal along the coast S of Dakar and into the Sine Saloum delta. Fishing is the main livelihood of these communities.

    I understand European powers have exploited many countries. But I do wonder what the living conditions were really like in these places before Europeans came. And wether they would not have tried to come anyways if Europe and advanced industrial society didn't come knocking. As per the fishing situation, indeed it is terrible if what this gentleman say is true. And it should either be stopped or the agreements reevaluated such that the money gained by Senegal from the deal be both higher and better distributed to these primarily impacted communities.
