Hello everyone, I am seeking urgent info on a travel route from Ethiopia to the Caribbean via Senegal and Cape Verde. I’ve heard accounts of people taking a 21-day boat journey across the Atlantic to reach the islands and I need to verify if this is a realistic or safe path. I am looking for clarity on whether this is a recognized travel method or a dangerous irregular route managed by smugglers. What are the actual survival risks of 21 days at sea, and what are the legal consequences for an Ethiopian national arriving this way? Also, is there any way to verify a "captain" or get a real address to ensure this isn't a scam or human trafficking? I need honest feedback to avoid life-threatening decisions based on unverified stories. Thank you for any help you can provide.
