Daphne: Have you heard of the boat off Guinea-Bissau?
Flora: Yes, it's horrible
Daphne: but where did they try to get?
Flora: it's hard to say, I talked to a naval officer today
Flora: and even they are not sure, but this used to be a popular road to the Canary Islands
Angus: Yes, this is what I read
Daphne: for gods sake, Canaries are about 1800km from there
Arlo: correct, it's insane
Arlo: what makes the whole thing even more tragic
Frederic: Did anybody survive?
Arlo: not even a body was found
Arlo: just the boat
Flora: but it's really a mess here, the situation is getting worse
Arlo: and the humanitarian aid?
Flora: you know my opinion on NGOs, sometimes I think they only make a situation worse
Arlo: I know, I saw it in Haiti
Flora: but here it's maybe even worse, Guinea-Bissau became the main point of drug smuggling from Latin America
Flora: at least it seems so
Arlo: i know, miserable and hopeless...
