Senegalese rappers spin world news on TV program

In this photo taken Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013, rapper Cheikh 'Keyti' Sene lays down verse about the week's news during a taping of the 'Journal Rappe,' in Dakar, Senegal. In the span of a program just five minutes long, Sene and his co-host Makhtar 'Xuman' Fall tackle, in rhyming verse, everything from the Middle East to local woes like the flooding that disproportionately hits poor suburbs of Senegal’s capital. The news and commentary show, rapped in French and Wolof, went viral on YouTube earlier this year and now airs twice a week on Senegalese television. (AP Photo/Jane Hahn) DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — The war in Syria isn't the easiest topic to break down in a brief newscast. But that's exactly what Senegalese rapper Makhtar "Xuman" Fall does — and throws it down in rhyme no less.
