The Rapped News

In this episode, the news talk about a Senegalese Muslim guide, Ahmet Khalifa Niasse advocating that Islam should adapt to modern day by integrating technology into its rituals. There is also talk of Youssou Ndour and allegations of 400 millions CFA (West African Francs) he received from the President of Senegal to be his ally for the local elections. Xuman parodies his song Seven Seconds to portray Youssou Ndour’s position on the matter. In Wolof, Keyti talks about the government using the justice system to fight its opponents and the example of the mayor of Ziguinchor (in the south of Senegal) who is in the opposition and is summoned by the Attorney General over his wealth. The last item is about Israel’s strikes in Gaza, death toll rising and fewer chances of effective peace talks.
