"Senegal's New President Bassirou Diomaye Faye Vows Change"
Bassirou Diomaye Faye, at 44, became Africa's youngest elected president in Senegal, promising "systemic change" during his inauguration ceremony. Faye, a former political prisoner, paid homage to those who suffered during the country's yearslong lead-up to the election and pledged not to disappoint them. His victory followed a dramatic campaign, including the cancellation and subsequent rescheduling of the election by the former president, Macky Sall.
