discover the complete analysis and what your choice says about you.
You've been living in Dakar for seven years. You're sharing a two-room apartment at Parcelles Assainies with your cousin, and your rent just increased. Every month, you send 80,000 CFA francs to your mother who stayed in Kédougou. She's getting older, the family box is getting worse. With your savings, you could build a house for him and start a small business there. But in Kédougou, no professional network, no hospital worthy of this name, no future for your children. In Dakar, you barely survive, but you exist. You open your phone: a voicemail from your mother coughing. You close your eyes. You have to choose.
What do you choose?
A — You leave Dakar, you go home to build in the village, even if you erase.
B — You stay in town, you hold your teeth, you keep sending the money.
