#InAfrica Senegal: lo que pasa en África, desde África

Do you want to know first hand what is happening in Africa? Told directly from there? Ask anything you want through our section # InAfrica, opened last year at our Blog África Vive and that has allowed us to get straight answers from the Central African Republic, Mali, Kenya and Ivory Coast.

Now the protagonist country will be Senegal, from where Javier Acebal, a photographer from Gijon, will answer your questions. He has been linked to the African continent since 2006 and particularly to Senegal since 2008, where he currently resides. There he has set up his company, Oh!-Tel Marketing, which markets products for the tourism sector and combines his work in it with his social sphere photography.

His photographs have made up part of several exhibitions, such as the one held in Dakar on the 25th anniversary of the AECID or during the conference "Women and Borders, a journey from Senegal to Spain." Among his photographic projects on culture, religion, or Senegalese society, we find his latest work on the struggle: "Nobody Unbeaten: Silence and noise of a magical lion," a photography and story-telling book published by the writer Cova Alvarez.

Javier will be responsible for answering questions you have about Senegal, a geo-strategic place for air and sea routes, a country with over 13 million people who in the last decade has greatly increased its economic, political and social ties with Spain; a politically stable country with a consolidated democracy and an ambitious social and economic development launched by its current president, Macky Sall, for whom the fight against corruption plays an important role.

Casa África was created to be a meeting place, for thought and reflection on African issues. And one of the ways we do this is by providing a voice to the protagonists of the neighbouring continent.

In order to promote this vision that it is the people who are there who can really give us quality primary information about what happens there, we launched #InAfrica: periodic digital encounters where a professional who is in an African country responds to the  questions you send.

The system is very simple. In our Blog Africa Vive, we present the protagonist and where he is found, as well as in our Facebook and Twitter profiles.

You can send your questions in several ways: posting a comment on Blog África Vive, on Facebook, on Twitter (including @Casaafrica and the hashtag #InAfricaSenegal) or by email to redes.sociales@casafrica.es. The day of the meeting, we will post the protagonist's responses to your questions on the blog.

If you want to know something specific about Senegal send your questions before the 24th February. On the 25th of this month we will publish the answers Javier Acebal gives us to the questions received.
