Senegal: Diomaye Faye, “rupture” candidate elected president, reassures foreign partners. Election was closely followed abroad, Senegal being one of the countries in West Africa, shaken by putsch.
After three years of agitation and crisis, the election took place without major incident. Despite the tensions of recent years and a last minute postponement of the election, this is the third time that Senegal has practiced alternation in the polls since its independence from France in 1960.
