Why young people are leaving France for Senegal
Many see a brighter future in Africa.
A growing number of young people born in France are choosing to leave the country. Many of them are moving to their parents鈥� countries of origin in Africa.
We chat with 91热爆 reporter and producer Nathalie Jimenez about 鈥淭he 91热爆coming鈥�, a documentary from 91热爆 Africa Eye. It explores the 鈥渟ilent exodus鈥� of French Africans with an emphasis on those re-locating to Senegal, a former French colony.
Among other things, Nathalie explains how racism and the rise of the far right are driving people to seek new beginnings abroad. We also hear from other French citizens who are starting a new life in Senegal.
