In Senegal’s capital, Nicaragua is a hot ticket among travel agents as migrants try to reach US

Gueva Ba tried to reach Europe by boat 11 times from Morocco, failing each attempt. “In Senegal, it’s all over the streets — everyone’s talking about Nicaragua, Nicaragua, Nicaragua," said Ba, who paid about 6 million CFA francs ($10,000) to get to Nicaragua in July with stops in Morocco, Spain and El Salvador.
