More than 130 migrants have been rescued off the coast of Mauritania, according to Arab News. Details about the migrants' nationalities, condition, or the circumstances of the rescue have not yet been reported. The operation comes as West African coastal states remain a key departure point for migrants attempting the dangerous Atlantic route toward the Canary Islands and Europe, a journey that has claimed many lives in recent years.
