Senegal’s political scene shaken as former president visits Dakar ahead of un bid

Dakar’s political landscape was electrified this afternoon as former President Macky Sall set foot on Senegalese soil for a high-profile visit. His brief stopover in the capital was framed as a diplomatic pitstop before his departure to New York, where he is campaigning for the position of UN Secretary-General. The focal point of this visit? A meeting at the Presidential Palace, where President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is expected to endorse Senegal’s backing for Sall’s candidacy.
