The Spanish government has begun airing emotional television adverts across West Africa as part of its attempts to combat illegal immigration. The $1.4m media campaign is to run for six weeks and has begun in Senegal. The aim of the campaign is to discourage potential migrants from attempting the dangerous 12-day voyage by boat to the Canary Islands. "My son left ... and we haven't heard from him in eight months," a distraught Senegalese woman says in one advert.  It then cuts to a boy lying face down on the rocks, apparently drowned.  In the past two years Spain has signed co-operation and repatriation agreements with Algeria, Morocco, Senegal, Mauritania, Gambia, Guinea, Mali and Ghana.
