Description
Family, friends and supporters of Senegal's president-elect Bassirou Diomaye Faye in his home village express pride, fear for the task that lies ahead and hope that Senegal's youngest elected leader will make real changes in a country where one in three of the around 17 million people are living in poverty. "Running a whole country is not easy,” says Samba Faye, the president-elect’s father, from the family home in the village of Ndiaganiao, which lies several hours inland from the country’s capital Dakar. "Knowing that everyone is waiting for you on several projects and that it is impossible to solve everything, you must be afraid if you embody certain values." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
