Senegalese applauded. After only a few years as president, Sall offered to reduce his own term to set an example, but the country said over its dead body. If Senegal could not afford to crown him for life, he must complete his two-term limit of seven years each. Sall is past tense. But promising Senegalese a future outside the grip of France, a grip forged decades before Faye was born, is where the tyre meets the road. It’s an ambitious promise made, not based on where Senegal is today, but on where it wishes to be.Let’s dial back. Like a number of colonies, especially the French ones, Senegal was a part of France, in law and spirit.
Of course, Nigeria, Morocco, and Ghana are also popping up on the radar, with Senegal’s intra-African trade growing by about eight per cent, but it would take more than a passionate inauguration speech to topple French interest, also deeply embedded in the oil and gas sectors by key businesses such as Total , or BNP Paribas and Societe Generale in the financial services.
