President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has cautioned that the Middle East is edging toward a "ring of fire" due to escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah.

At least 30 decomposed bodies were found on a boat adrift about 70 kilometers off the coast of Dakar, Senegal’s capital, the country’s armed forces announced today.

The Navy was alerted to the presence of the boat last night, Sunday, and a coastguard vessel was immediately dispatched to the area, according to the armed forces’ statement.

Anti-establishment candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye said Monday that Senegal's people had chosen to "break" with the current political system as he was set to become the youngest president in the country's history.

Faye's main rival from the governing coalition, Amadou Ba, has already conceded the race, triggering a political earthquake in the West African nation.

More than 60 people are believed to have died after a migrant boat from Senegal was found off West Africa's Cape Verde islands, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said Wednesday.
