One of their most important customs is the annual election of the "viceroy". He represents their king "Peko" on earth, a legendary pagan god. Although the Seto have also been strictly orthodox Christians for centuries, "Peko" and his earthly deputy are still held in the highest esteem. Rein Järvelill has been the viceroy for a year now. Will he win the election again this time?

$Timbuktu: Life in Mali’s Most Notorious Desert Outpost This is an excerpt from Timbuktu at the Crossroads - Sahara (2/3). Watch the whole production here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDg9wJKG7h4 Watch all episodes of Sahara in our playlist: https://bit.ly/sahara_playlist Timbuktu, once a legendary city of gold and wonder, became the stage for a harsh reality when it fell under jihadist control in 2012. As Tuareg separatists declared the state of Azawad, ancient heritage was destroyed and strict rule imposed, until French forces intervened months later. Through intimate portraits of its residents, the film explores the deep fractures of identity in a city where survival often meant compromise, revealing a place still haunted by conflict and caught between past dreams and present uncertainty. #documentary #timbuktu #mali #crime #sahara #africa Subscribe to wocomoHUMANITY: https://goo.gl/5Sp36B Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo Original title: Timbuktu at the Crossroads - Sahara (2/3) A film by David Kleijwegt & Erik van Empel © 2018, Licensed by Sideways Film Documentaries about people and cultures from around the globe: wocomoHUMANITY offers high-quality content which is produced by leading production companies.
