 NOUADHIBOU, Mauritania (AP) - Facime Diarra journeyed hundreds of miles from his native Guinea to this West African port and boarded a wooden fishing boat bound for Spain, dreaming of making enough money to buy a tractor for his family back home.
He lost everything except his life when the boat sank and about 30 of its 45 passengers drowned. Yet now he's looking for another boat, and is odd-jobbing around town to earn the fare.
"I'll go again," the 18-year-old said, though this time in a convoy of boats for safety.
