Illegal migrants from Africa staged a massive massacre on a boat heading to the Canary Islands. They killed 72 individuals following accusations of witchcraft. According to reports, the vessel, carrying about 320 migrants, got lost on its way to Spain and drifted in the Atlantic Ocean for about a week.

A group of young passengers decided to kill others to survive, as the supplies of water and food were insufficient for everyone. They conspired among themselves and accused their victims of witchcraft. Only 248 illegal migrants out of 320 made it to the Canaries. Spanish police are conducting an investigation, and more than 20 suspects in the murders have been detained.


In the US capital, there has been a tenfold increase in arrests of migrants without legal status. This trend occurs against the backdrop of intensified crime-fighting measures initiated by President Donald Trump's administration. It was previously reported that the United States announced the deportation of Ukrainian citizens. Recently, President Donald Trump stated that Ukrainians who fled the war to the US would be allowed to stay in the country until the war is over.


The events described in both news items reflect the complex nature of migration processes and the conflicts that can arise among refugees and illegal migrants during their journey. The intensification of measures against illegal migration and the deportation of citizens highlight the importance of controlling migration flows and adhering to the laws of the countries they arrive in.
