Meanings
proper noun
- alternativeAlternative form of Subsahara.
The smugglers charge less for crossings over winter, when the sea is rougher, which helps explain why the fatality rate for crossings by people from the sub-Sahara is much higher than for Tunisians, who are more likely to be able to afford to pay extra to cross in summer.
