economic advances have not reached many senegalese people especially young men often risk everything to my great teacher. i want to bring in our correspondent will be africa's jaime sunday at mali and he's going to be giving us more analysis at to this election really i just want to point out that we've had another big election result of a continent and that was nigeria we had a lot of people calling fall they have but let's start off by establishing a me if you will was this a free and faith election. i mean synagogue has a history of for conducting free and fair election and this one was no exception on that so observers from the european union from the unit you from the african union and also from the eco whereas the west african. union they are seeing that the process was going there that were free and free so but there's a problem which is
