New Senegal President’s Home Village Full Of Pride, Hope And Advice

A man walks down a road in Ndiaganiao on March 27, 2024. – The small Senegalese town of Ndiaganiao emerged from anonymity after the accession to power of one of its children, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, who is the pride of its inhabitants. In Ndiaganiao, a remote village in Senegal’s agricultural region, men from around the country flock to congratulate the father of president-elect Bassirou Diomaye Faye.

“We could never have imagined that he would one day become president of the republic even though we prayed that he would go as far as possible in his career,” added Faye. Across Ndiaganiao, where Diomaye won 80 percent of the vote, walls and dilapidated buildings have his name and that of his mentor Ousmane Sonko written in white paint.

“The main advice we can give him is… remaining himself, being humble and keeping his ability to listen,” the uncle added.At the local headquarters of Faye’s party, PASTEF, the walls are covered with posters of the new president. The two met at school aged 11 and went on to share a room from 2001 to 2004 at the University of Dakar.
