Goor.
And it has the same polysemy : it basically means "man", but also depending of context it means "someone with genuine and full humanity".
Note also that what Mane is doing is deeply rooted in traditional Senegalese values (which doesn't mean that everybody applies them sincerely - far from it - so kudos to him); and that the same values are behind a lot of the corruption there (anybody getting access to power is supposed to provide for all their relatives).
