SENEGAL swore in Bassirou Diomaye Faye as its new president yesterday.

Mr Faye was released from prison less than two weeks before the March 24 election, along with popular opposition figure Ousmane Sonko, following a political amnesty announced by outgoing president Macky Sall. 

It is the former tax inspector’s first time in elected office.
