  • Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a leftwing pan-Africanist, has been sworn in as Senegal's youngest president, promising systemic change, greater sovereignty and calm after years of deadly turmoil.

    The 44-year-old, who has never held an elected office, swept to a first-round victory on a promise of radical change just 10 days after being released from prison. Faye spoke before hundreds of officials at an exhibition centre in the new town of Diamniadio, near the capital, Dakar. The former tax inspector becomes Senegal's fifth president since independence from France in 1960.

      Just like the UK. Record number of people using food banks. Mortgages doubled. More People waiting for treatment than ever before. Record numbers of asylum seekers. Food costs higher than ever. Utility bills at record levels. Etc etc.
      It’s been a blast under a right wing government….
