A grim discovery has shaken the small Caribbean island of Canouan after a boat carrying 11 badly decomposed bodies washed ashore. Local officials are scrambling to piece together what happened—passports found onboard point to a possible connection to Mali in West Africa, hinting at a tragic migrant journey gone wrong. International agencies are now assisting with the investigation, but for now, the island is left with more questions than answers.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a local mystery—it’s a stark reminder of the deadly risks people take fleeing hardship, and how far-reaching those tragedies can be. For a quiet island like Canouan, it’s an unsettling shock, but it also forces a bigger conversation about migration routes, smuggling, and who’s accountable when lives are lost at sea.
