We started in Mauritania and then we went to the Canary Islands, which is a Spanish territory.
But, you know, so to Spain, the Canary Islands, and we went to mainland Spain, to France and the United Kingdom.
Mauritania is a West African Islamic Republic, and that is the launch point where a lot of these so-called migrants leave on boat and head to the Canary Islands.
They leave from other countries as well, but Mauritania nowadays is the main launch point.
It's just a convenient point.
They sort of come from all over the Sahal and Maghreb up north.
And then from south, they'll come from Sierra Leone.
They'll come from Senegal and other countries.
And they sort of meet there.
And it's also geographically situated near the Canary Islands, so it's convenient.
And that's where they leave from.
But they also leave from countries like Senegal or I think they leave from Jordan sometimes.
How do you know that?
Yeah, well, we've been studying this for a while.
We studied this very intensively here in the United States.
As I said to you earlier off camera, we were the first Americans, as far as I'm aware, I mean, somebody could contact me if this is incorrect, but I'm not aware of anybody else that's done it.
We were the first Americans to go from South America, from Ecuador to the US border.
And when you look at what's going on in Europe, a lot of the same organizations are running the show out there as well.
And so if you know, okay, you just read the news.
Okay, they're landing in the Canary Islands.
