As I delved into news report of President-elect Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s election in Senegal, a wave of nostalgia washed over me.. I couldn’t help but recall a conversation with my Liberian mentor, Eddie Jarwolo, who served as an ECOWAS Observer during the 25th March Senegalese election. His vivid account of the passion and vigour exhibited by Senegal’s youth transported me to the bustling streets of Dakar, where I could feel the pulse of the people echoing through the air.
Moreover, as Senegal’s major trade partner, France’s role in the country’s economic landscape cannot be understated. Any efforts to recalibrate Senegal’s relationship with France must be approached with caution, taking into account the interests of all stakeholders and exploring viable alternatives for the Senegalese people.
Reflecting on Faye’s journey to the presidency, one cannot ignore the indelible imprint of his mentor, Ousmane Sonko. Despite facing disqualification, Sonko’s unwavering passion ignited a flame of hope that fuelled Faye’s campaign. As Faye assumes office, I pray that the energy translates into tangible development for the people of Senegal.
