Tucked away in an unmarked building, set back from a dusty thoroughfare on the outskirts of Senegal’s capital, Dakar, hides a community centre. Within its walls, a woman we can only refer to by her initials AC dissolves into tears as she recounts the most recent death since Donald Trump began his slash and burn mission against foreign aid.
“When I visited him, he told me, ‘I want to take the medicine now’. But he was already at the latest stage and we couldn't do anything for him,” she says. AC volunteers at the Aboya Centre which has helped her since she learned her own HIV positive status, visiting others like Abdou* who need extra support to live with the virus.
