Won by 829,665 vote margin… how 44-year-old Faye became Senegal’s president
In a stunning victory, opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye has emerged victorious in the Senegal’s presidential election held on March 24th, securing an impressive 54.28% of the total votes cast.

Faye’s remarkable achievement is underscored by the fact that he garnered a staggering 2,434,751 votes, signifying a significant mandate from the electorate.




His closest rival, former Prime Minister Amadou Ba of the ruling coalition, managed to secure 1,605,086 votes, representing 35.79% of the total votes.

The turnout for the Sunday presidential election was robust, with a notable 61% of eligible voters exercising their democratic right.




However, the electoral process was not without its challenges, as President Macky Sall had attempted to postpone the polls initially slated for February. His actions led to unrest and violent protests, tragically resulting in three fatalities.

Despite these obstacles, Faye’s resounding victory signals a new chapter in the political landscape of the nation, with hopes for stability and progress under his leadership.




From prison to become the youngest democratically elected president of Africa

Faye’s extraordinary rise in Senegalese politics caught many people by surprise.

He had been in jail for months alongside his ally and kingmaker, Ousmane Sonko, but they were suddenly released from prison the week before the presidential election.

Now known as Mr. Clean, he must begin work on the sweeping reforms he promised.

“Methodical” and “modest” are words often used to describe the tax collector, who celebrated his 44th birthday on Monday.

Mr. Faye fondly remembers his rural upbringing in Ndiaganiao, where he says he would go to work the land every Sunday.

His love and respect for village life are matched by his deep distrust of Senegal’s elites and establishment politics.

“He has never been a minister before and he is not a statesman, so critics question his lack of experience,” analyst Alioune Tine told the BBC. “But from Faye’s point of view, the insiders who have been running the country since 1960 have made some terrible failures.”

Fighting poverty, injustice, and corruption is at the top of Mr. Faye’s agenda. While still working for the Treasury, he and Ousmane Sonko created a union task force to tackle corruption.

Gas, oil, fishing, and defense deals must all be negotiated to better serve the Senegalese people, Mr. Faye says.

The president-elect of Senegal has said he will drop the much-criticized CFA franc currency, which is pegged to the euro and supported by former colonial power France.

Mr. Faye wants to replace it with a new Senegalese or regional West African currency, although this will not be easy.

How Bassirou become candidate

They announced Bassirou Diomaye Faye in February as the so-called “Plan B” candidate, replacing the charismatic opposition figure Ousmane Sonko. “I would even say he has more integrity than me,” Mr. Sonko proudly stated.

April Fools’ Day, observed annually on April 1st, has been a tradition spanning centuries across various cultures, yet its precise beginnings elude us.

This day is marked by the playful exchange of hoaxes and practical jokes, typically followed by the exclamation of “April Fools!” to reveal the jest.




Despite its mysterious origins, the enduring popularity of April Fools’ Day is sustained by its adoption by the media and prominent brands, ensuring its continued celebration.

Origins of April Fools’ Day




Some historians suggest that April Fools’ Day traces its origins to 1582, when France transitioned from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, as mandated by the Council of Trent in 1563. In the Julian Calendar, similar to the Hindu calendar, the new year commenced with the spring equinox around April 1.

Those who were unaware of or resisted the shift to celebrating the new year on January 1, continuing their festivities from the last week of March through April 1, became the subjects of pranks and jokes, earning them the moniker “April fools.”

In the ever-evolving landscape of social media, where the digital realm intertwines with our daily lives more and more every day, the power of a single post cannot be underestimated.

Vincent Iachetta Jr., president of Peppermonkey Media, discusses four things that should never find their way onto your social media profile.




Your romantic situation

Vincent explains, ‘While it may seem harmless to update your relationship status on social media, revealing too much about your romantic situation can make you vulnerable to unwanted attention and potential harassment.




Broadcasting your relationship status, especially if you’re single, can attract unwanted advances or even stalking from individuals with malicious intent.’ Additionally, disclosing relationship status changes can lead to personal drama and unwanted inquiries from acquaintances or colleagues.

Your nightlife




Sharing excessive details about your partying habits, including drinking or drug use, can have severe repercussions. Beyond damaging your reputation, posting such content can jeopardize future job opportunities, as employers often screen candidates’ social media profiles.

Moreover, oversharing party-related activities may attract unwanted attention from law enforcement or potential criminals, putting your safety at risk.
