Almost half of Senegal's population lives below the poverty line, but young men like Domou Walo are fighting for a better life. In the country’s capital of Dakar, Walo trains for La lutte or Laamb, Senegal's traditional form of wrestling. The sport has been practiced since the 14th century and includes elements of mysticism. Top contenders regularly compete for prestige and six figure prizes. Filmmaker Tom Sweetland captures the athleticism, ritual, violence, and brotherhood that underpins the sport, where the young challengers train to improve their family’s lot in a country where many survive on an average income of only $10 a day.

Kushti is a traditional mud-wrestling sport in India with roots dating back 2,500 years. Wrestlers leave their hometowns as children to live and train at wrestling academies, called talims. The lifestyle is extremely disciplined: They wake up at 4 a.m. to train six days a week and rarely get the chance to see their families. We went inside the Gangavesh wrestling school in Kolhapur to follow one of the top fighters there, Mauli Jamdade, to see what it takes to be a mud wrestler.

Why Mud Wrestlers Give Up Everything For An Ancient Sport | Still Standing | Business Insider

Desperate to escape conflict and poverty, thousands of migrants and refugees attempt the perilous journey to Europe each year, with many crossing the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa in rubber dinghies and wooden boats.

In the wake of the decommissioning of Mare Nostrum, a search and rescue operation run by Italy, the humanitarian organization Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), launched their own vessel, named the Bourbon Argos, to find those stranded at sea and save those in trouble on one of the deadliest routes to Europe.

On board the vessel, refugees and migrants are provided with medical aid, food, and shelter, then brought safely to Italian shores. Having survived life in Libya, ruthless treatment by smugglers, and horrific conditions aboard flimsy boats, once aboard the Bourbon Argos they face yet more uncertainty as they approach Europe.

VICE News teamed up with MSF to document these search and rescue missions in the Mediterranean and speak to rescued refugees and migrants, hearing about the suffering they have endured in their attempts to reach a new life.

The Senegalese political tragedy Manipulation of the people to further one’s political cause?

By Diomaye Ndongo Faye
The history of the political development of human societies teaches us that tragedies have often occurred when two of the most prominent political leaders in a social entity put their personal interests above those of their peoples in their battle for preservation and/or conquest of power. These protagonists begin by identifying the sources of great fear, uncertainty and concern among their people and decide to use them as a rallying point for their camp. Each one poses as the one and only person capable of leading the people to the other shore where the causes that underlie these feelings will disappear thanks to the magician’s stick that only he is able to make good use of. If the institutions of this administrative space are strong enough, this tragedy can lead to their reinforcement, this was the case of the civil war of the United States from 1861 to 1865. Otherwise, it is possible to have an outcome like what is happening in Somalia today.

These two political leaders in Senegal today are President Macky Sall and the undisputed leader of the current Senegalese opposition Ousmane Sonko. These two people must look at themselves in the mirror and ask themselves the following question: would I like historians to attach my name to the decay of the Republic of Senegal?

The culture of my country and the importance of English in this country

The great music revolutions of our times have come from Africa, and the next one is brewing there right now. Soon, our local music industries will be swamped with it. Afrobeats, Azonto, Kuduro and South African House are club music styles based on traditional rhythms, becoming a means of expressing the identity for an entire generation. This is rock'n'roll happening to Africa - and spreading to the rest of the whole world. Get the rhythm and the rhymes of modern African urban music and rediscover it in international music trends. Fonko is a documentary television series about social and political change in Africa seen through an avalanche of striking, innovative and visual music. Music however, is only one aspect of a dramatic social change. Africa is home to some of the fastest growing countries in the world and in the globalised world, African music, politics and industry will eventually affect everything. In Fonko you meet Africa's most influential musicians in their home cities.

Senegal, on the western tip of Africa, has been a cultural crossroads for ages. Today the capital Dakar is the unrivalled centre for the West African hip hopscene. Taking it's influences from, Paris, New york as well as local sources, the hip hop movement has shaped the political history of Senegal. Music in Senegal is rooted in the daily life and political upheavals of the country. The Senegalese music scene experienced a real revolution under the presidency of the poet Leopold Sédar Senghor, who led a policy promoting the local and cultural identity of the Senegalese. It is in this context that was born the most listened and popular musical style of Senegal, Mbalax. A musical style influenced by Wolof culture and drums, pioneered by Youssou N'dour. Music is a way in this West African country to assert a cultural identity specific to the country, which wants to be independent from Europe or the United States.
In addition, Senegal meets another important musical wave with the rap, of which it becomes one of the biggest scenes of the continent. Rappers have turned rap into an instrument of counter-power in this country with a turbulent political history. Rap conveys political messages, a way to educate people and to incite them to vote. Rap constitutes as a counter power, mirror views of the new generation. Influenced above all by the Burkinabe political icon, Thomas Sankara, music in Senegal seeks to change the system and daily life by asserting a self-reliant and independent African identity.
Through this documentary, we meet many Senegalese artists including: Youssou N'dour, Carlou D, Didier Awadi, Sister Fa, Daara J and many more

Al Roker Goes To Senegal To Trace His Ancestral Roots | TODAY

Of all of West Africa, Senegal is probably the country that has been affected the most my environmental chances that are impacting the oceans. Subject to the wrath of Mother Nature, the seafaring people have a dilemma to face, should they take to the open seas, or stay put?
Elsewhere, wedged between the vast wildernesses of the Atlantic and the Sahara, Mauritania was born of sand and wind. In order to survive there, people became nomads. A tough way of life, this forged the identity of their nation, however this is now disappearing.

Paradise for Paedophiles (1998): A disturbing account of paedophilia in Senegal.

For downloads and more information visit http://journeyman.tv/9080/shor....t-films/paradise-for

16-year old Aly has been propositioned for sex since he was a young boy. He's been tempted by the offers - in return for sex he could perhaps get passage to the West, live his dream of being a rap star and get a record deal. It sounds easy. But the psychologist who runs a centre for abused street kids knows different. "Those kids feel shame about their bodies. They have a feeling of agressiveness towards adults. It's a threat to society." Senegalese law is not on his side though. On paper paedophiles can be imprisoned for 10 years yet they rarely receive such harsh treatment. Last year a Canadian paodophile admitted guilt to the Senegalese police. He was fined $3000. Locals don't want to talk about the lively influx of sex tourists. They don't want their beautiful heritage-town to get a reputation. Nor do they want to put off tourists of any kind. It's a sad indictment of African poverty that anyone with money can get exactly what they want. A paedophile victim understands how the bribes work. "He said if I told he'd get into trouble and the money transfers back home would be stopped."Some Europeans and a South African have been living in Goree for years. Everyone knows that they are paedophiles. But nobody says anything. Silence means more tourism - but for the children it means a destroyed life.

Journeyman Pictures is your independent source for the world's most powerful films, exploring the burning issues of today. We represent stories from the world's top producers, with brand new content coming in all the time. On our channel you'll find outstanding and controversial journalism covering any global subject you can imagine wanting to know about.

In human cultures in general, and perhaps particularly in Africa, the landscape is the first shrine of tradition. From the sand dunes of Mauritania to the currents of River Senegal, to the Lions of the Beninese savannah to the spirits of the forests of Gabon, this series explores the origin, the nature and the survival of deep links between several populations in West Africa and their habitat.

Each episode takes us to discover an emblematic landscape: the river (Senegal), the desert (Mauritania), the forest (Gabon) and the savannah (Benin). A compass of escape and meeting which rests on two main pillars: the spectacular character of the places, often classified with the UNESCO world heritage, and the charisma of the main characters who are transmitters of their respective traditions.
