18 people have died after a migrant boat capsized off of the Agadir coast as they attempted to reach Europe.

The migrants hailing from Kasbah Tadla are aged between 17 and 27 years old, including four girls.

The United Socialist Party of Kasbah Tadla wrote: “We received with deep sadness and great regret the news of the tragedy that shook the city following the death of 18 young men and women of our sons who boarded the death boats under duress.”

“Enough of looting of public money. Enough of corruption. Enough of the politics of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Enough.. God suffices as a witness and watcher over you,” added the party, blaming social inadequacies on driving Moroccans to migrate.
