TOPSHOT - (FILES) A performer dressed as a lion walks next to a torch bearer carrying the Youth Olympic Flame during the flame's 46-day tour in Dakar, on September 14, 2026. The Youth Olympic Flame will travel across Senegal's 14 regions before returning to Dakar for the opening ceremony on October 31, 2026. Senegal will host the Summer Youth Olympic Games from October 31 to November 13, 2026, bringing together 2,700 athletes competing in 25 sports. The Youth Olympic Games (YOG), scheduled to take place in Senegal from October 31 to November 13, are still struggling to gain traction in public conversation, far removed from the immediate concerns of many Senegalese. Jobs, the cost of living and household income are among the main worries. With just one month to go before the opening of the first Olympic event ever held in Africa, priorities lie elsewhere for many residents interviewed by AFP in this crisis-hit country.
