Lhe country of Teranga, “hospitality” in Wolof, has kept its promises. Seated in the back of an imposing white 4 x 4 driven by the protection services of the Presidency of the Senegalese Republic, Marine Le Pen watches the colorful streets of Dakar pass by at high speed, where a busy crowd stops at her passage.

With a reel of arms, standing on his machine, like an acrobat, a police motorcyclist clears a path for the procession in the joyous disorder of the traffic, all flashing lights out. Direction the honor lounges of the military airport. The one reserved for heads of state, captains of industry as well as international special forces about to be deployed in the Sahel.
