5 months after taking workplace, Bassirou Diomaye Faye discusses home and geopolitical challenges.
Bassirou Diomaye Faye, Africa’s youngest elected chief, turned Senegal’s president simply weeks after being launched from jail in April. The 44-year-old’s rise within the wake of political turmoil marked him as an emblem of hope for Senegal’s younger individuals. Faye promised to reform the financial system, sort out unemployment and guarantee a fairer share of assets. 5 months into his presidency, these questions stay central. However critics accuse him of consolidating energy after dissolving parliament and calling for early elections.
Senegalese President Basilou Diomaye Faye was interviewed by Al Jazeera.
