Senegalese government spokesman: We represent a democratic exception in Africa. Abdou Karim Fofana says expected accession to gas exporting countries will provide a strong position in more modern economic sectors.

President Macky Sall, the first president in Senegal's history, is not seeking a third term. He is also the only president who organizes elections without participating in them, according to him, which shows the extent of Senegal's exceptionalism and the greatness of its democracy. The most important matter is not oil or gas revenues, but rather the opportunities the economy will have for diversification.
