The Olympic flame has arrived in Senegal ahead of the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games, making history as Africa prepares to host its first-ever Olympic event.
Welcomed with music, dance and a symbolic procession led by 100 Senegalese women, the flame began a nationwide tour across all 14 regions on September 12.
Leaders have hailed the moment as a source of pride for Senegal and the continent.
Around 2,700 young athletes are expected to compete when the Games open on October 31 in Dakar.
