Over a thousand migrants landed in Senegal and Mauritania at the end of August, after surviving an attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean towards the Canary Islands. The organization Doctors Without Borders reported that a total of 1,046 Africans arrived in a state of great vulnerability on the African coast in the last week of August.

The people landed in three cities in West Africa: Nouadhibou, in Mauritania, and Rosso and Dakar, in Senegal. These cities are located on the Atlantic migratory route, which is known to be extremely dangerous for migrants attempting to reach the Canary Islands from the west African coast.

Italy: Pope urges Catholics to be builders of peace "in times of destruction and uncertainty"

Pope Leo XIV presided over the Vigil Mass for the Nativity of the Virgin Mary at the Shrine of the Mother of Good Counsel in Genazzano, Italy, where he urged Catholics to be builders of peace in "times of destruction and uncertainty." In his homily, the Pope argued that in Jesus Christ God chose the most humble conditions to manifest His Kingdom, where arrogance has no place, and challenged the faithful to practice contemplative prayer as a form of prophecy to recognize and serve peace. The celebration was marked by the inauguration of a painting depicting the Pope in prayer before the image of the Virgin, integrating him into the gallery of pontiffs who have visited the Marian shrine, whose devotion dates back to the 13th century.
