From AFP News Agency.
As part of our interview series to mark AFP’s 80th anniversary, video journalist Magatte Gaye recalls covering the victory of his home country Senegal at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. The team defeated Egypt in a penalty shootout after the two sides were locked at 0-0, leading to Senegal’s first Africa Cup of Nation’s title.
"I fulfilled my dream as a young Senegalese journalist," says Gaye.
AFP is one of the world’s largest news agencies, with more than 1,700 journalists working in 150 countries. To mark our anniversary, we’re turning our cameras on our own journalists. They will tell you about the work they do, through their most memorable stories. Some covered the war in Ukraine, documented the beginning of a global pandemic, interviewed world leaders or reported on deforestation in the Amazon. Many have risked their lives several times. They did it all with one goal in mind: to provide the world with impartial and verified information.
You can find our journalists’ stories across all our social media platforms from 9 September.
