Two boats, one carrying about 65 people and the other with between 50 and 60 on board, have been missing for 15 days since they left Senegal to try to reach Spain, Helena Maleno of Walking Borders told Reuters news agency on Sunday. "The families are very worried. There are about 300 people from the same area of Senegal. They have left because of the instability," Maleno said, adding that those on board have not been heard from since leaving.
