A missing Tanji fishing boat carrying seven fishermen has been found in Senegal. 

The boat is reported to have gone missing for more than five days after it drifted away and there was growing concern about the safety of the fishermen.

“The boat missed its way in the sea before finally landing in the Senegalese coast. All the men on the boat are in good health,” a Tanji resident told Gambiana on telephone.
