Senegal hails new anti-establishment president
Bassirou Diomaye Faye promises to overhaul democracy in west African country blighted by corruption.
Just 10 days before being elected president of Senegal, Bassirou Diomaye Faye was in prison.
Years of political turmoil have left the west African state's democracy teetering on the brink of collapse, with deadly uprisings and the jailing of opposition figures commonplace.
But Faye's victory, secured in the first round of voting, has left the population, particularly its youth, feeling energised by his promise of radical change.
Lamine Sane, an electoral operations manager with Pastef, poses for a portrait March 25, 2024 in Dakar Senegal. “We’ve lived through some of the darkest moments in this country's history,” he said.

Akon City: tumbleweed rolls through site of rapper's Wakanda-inspired dream.
Star unveiled plans for a city on the Senegal coast five years ago but the project has been beset by delays.
Plans were first unveiled five years ago by the US-Senegalese R&B singer Akon, and the first phase of construction was supposed to be completed by the end of 2023, but the project has been riddled with delays and controversy.
Akon has said in the past that his eponymous city would not only provide employment, but would also be a sanctuary for African-Americans seeking to reconnect with their African roots.
The scheme initially had backing from Senegal’s outgoing president, Macky Sall, and the Society for the Development and Promotion of Coasts and Tourist Zones (Sapco), which loaned the singer $2m for the project.
According to local media, Sapco has sent Akon a formal notice that if the project has not advanced by next year, its contract with him will be terminated.
Akon City has also been embroiled in land rights issues.

Akon City: tumbleweed rolls through site of rapper's Wakanda-inspired dream.
Star unveiled plans for a city on the Senegal coast five years ago but the project has been beset by delays.
Plans were first unveiled five years ago by the US-Senegalese R&B singer Akon, and the first phase of construction was supposed to be completed by the end of 2023, but the project has been riddled with delays and controversy.
Akon has said in the past that his eponymous city would not only provide employment, but would also be a sanctuary for African-Americans seeking to reconnect with their African roots.
The scheme initially had backing from Senegal’s outgoing president, Macky Sall, and the Society for the Development and Promotion of Coasts and Tourist Zones (Sapco), which loaned the singer $2m for the project.
According to local media, Sapco has sent Akon a formal notice that if the project has not advanced by next year, its contract with him will be terminated.
Akon City has also been embroiled in land rights issues.

Anger over fish stocks as Senegal village mourns boat disaster dead
Grieving relatives and friends of people who died in Cape Verde boat disaster say more will leave unless conditions improve.
Hundreds of motorised canoes decorated with swirls of green, red and blue line the beach of Fass Boye, a small fishing village in northern Senegal. The handpainted boats, known as pirogues, used to return to shore brimming with fish, residents say. But as fish populations began to ebb over the last decade, the boats assumed a new role. Instead of carrying fishers out to sea, now they take them to Spain's Canary Islands in search of economic opportunities.
On 16 August, one such boat that had departed from Fass Boye with 101 people onboard was found drifting off the coast of Cape Verde. It held only 38 survivors.
Fass Boye residents and environmental groups blame the Senegalese government for doling out fishing permits to industrial trawlers from Asia and Europe, which they say are responsible for the decline in fish stocks.
