Bassirou Diomaye Faye will officially become the youngest president of Senegal on Tuesday. He intends to retain the precious support of his mentor Ousmane Sonko, for whom he served as candidate.
The meeting is symbolic in more than one way. It firstly sends a message of appeasement after three years of fierce confrontation between the presidential camp and the representatives of Pastef (African Patriots of Senegal for Work, Ethics and Fraternity), dissolved by the authorities last July.
