- You may not have heard about him a year ago, but Bassirou Diomaye Faye is set to become Senegal's next president. The former tax collector who was released from prison a week before elections, is destined to be Africa's youngest democratically elected leader at the age of 44. He was backed by mentor and main opposition figure Ousmane Sonko, who was barred from the race.
The surprise win in one of Africa's most stable democracies was largely driven by young voters hungry for change. Faye has promised to tackle corruption and bring reforms to Senegal's economy, and its currency, but he also faces a series of major challenges.

#Senegal #BassirouDiomayeFaye #Africa
God bless and protect Bassirou Diomaye Faye, long live Senegal, and the Senegalese people, we are all proud of you!!
May you prosper and succeed beyond your imaginations, the whole of Africa is praying and supporting you.
Love from Nigeria
Senegalese democracy could have failed just like her peers were it not for the people's strong resolve to battle Macky Sall's greedy act of constitutional coup
"How much experience does he have?". Are you questioning the will of the Senegalese people? They have elected their president, not anybody else's... If it is a mistake, they will elect another next time... For now, all Western media must stop questioning what Africa decides for itself... PERIOD.
We in the West only want prosperity, peace and freedom for all African countries and we have experience in obtaining it to share if you want it.
The older people that had all the experiences, what has changed?
Young generation leaders got more will to do something for their country
Well that’s literally the role of journalism… questioning, finding answers to issues… no wonder why free media are being shut down in Sahel autocratic dictatorships…
I have never heard anyone call him mister clean even if he is indeed Mr Clean. The reason is not just because he’s coming with debts and not so much assets as said in the vidéo but because his incorruptibility is known of all.
He worked as a tax a tax collecter for 15 years a position where it’s so easy to make billions; many of his collegues are billioner but he’s came out after fifteen years with debt
That’s impressive!
God bless Africa
This guy must prove to Africa and the world that the young people can also do better.We are tired about these old leaders
God guide this young man to deliver his vision for the people of Senegal
I’m so proud of the brother.
I see Senegal will be in good hands, as usual!
He is young but not the youngest. Ibrahim Traoré is.
Democratically elected.
He mean youngest elected president. Ibrahima traoré was not elected democratly
@@mactarbadji9063 Have to be elected?
That leaves out the other 90% of African leaders .
@@mactarbadji9063 Elected or not, this is false information/misleading. Ibrahim Traoré is indeed the youngest president. This thumbnail is just incorrect and maybe dishonest. To avoid such, why didn’t they just add "elected"?
Yeah but he's ELECTED, CHOSEN by the people of Senegal.
I wish Ghana would see this ❤❤
Uganda too.
This woman that was interviewed did Senegal justice
I hope he is sincere and successful but history makes me skeptical
He could be sincere. I'm hoping he is. Since he has already read the riot act to the blood sucking France
Until a Russian ,Chinese or Western mining company offer to buy him a mansion and Yacht .
yeah. Sankara comes to mind. The French eliminated him
It was his fellow marxist that killed him
Yes, I can understand your skepticism. I am in contact with Senegal since more than 30 years (as a German) and I could witness a few changes of presidents. Everytime the people of Senegal were full of hope but lateron every President turned to show his greediness for power.
You can only hope for the best.
Bassirou Diomaye Faye will lead the country with his mentor Ousmane Sonko. Sonko was ousted from the elections but he is the one behind Diomaye becoming President. The most important is that the West needs to back off and leave this tandem lead this county.
I envy Sénégal !!
It seems your a Ugandan, but don't worry, u continue fight u will achieve it.
it's sad that a 44 year old is considered a young outsider. africa has had enough of old, outdated men running their countries. it is time for real youth to change their countries.
44 is considered young president anywhere in the world. U must be in your 20s to think he's old
It’s the case in the US too. Letting elderly people make all the important decisions is crazy- many have little understanding of the modern world.
@@voiceofourancestorschannel112 i am and he is.
@@cageybee7221Never mind, you will get to 40s too and then let us know if you are old or not. So you want a 20 year old to be the president? With what qualifications, life and work experience at that age? When the frontal lobe doesn’t even fully develop until 25! Keep in mind that isn’t a monarchy but a democratic government.
@@pdm8446 if you haven't had any life experiences by your 20s then you are very sheltered.
I’m definitely tired of the dirt roads
Bassirou Faye: I am the captain now
Young blood Africa 🔥🔥❤️
No more western hegemony and imperialism
*Watches „imperial“ Channel
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
France have lost one again 😅 🇳🇬❤️🇸🇳 ✌🏾
Congratulations 🥳🎉🎉🎉
🇸🇳 Senegambia, Senegal, Mr. Clean 🧼
2 wives, he will be eating in two houses. I love that boy.
Finally!
A African leader who does not wear camouflage uniforms and finished 6th grade .
Things are looking up .
Once again , congratulations
Good luck.💙💙💙💙🌿🌿🗝️🤝🏿
I would add that he may be called Mr. Clean because he held a broom during his campaign to show he is on a mission to clean/wipe out corruption, mismanagement of funds, etc.
BTW, that's why you see his supporters holding brooms in the videos.
All aspiring leaders should study the likes of Thomas Sankara, and many other Noble men who perceived a beautiful future for all their countrymen.
Time for young Ones.
They need to get rid of the cfa frank indefinitely in Africa create a united ecowas currency and further improve economic access and free trade with neighbors
un développement sans échange monétaire, par l'échange de l'information et des ressources. Le modèle de la révolution soviétique pour le développement régional du Sénégal
Good luck to the team we’ve seen that they’ve been great patriots let them stay on their word for a good democracy Africa needs a leader who will stand to protect the rights of the people a leader who will feed the poor and the less privileged is now time for us to realize ourselves our integrity is not for sale justice for all
Mama Africa ... hope it will make the right change and not become corrupt along the way 😂
😂😂😂😂
how old his the Man
Time will show but so far we see a young and very handsome man. Hopefully he will become a good president and gain a political experience fast.
Emmanuel Macron was a former Minister from Hollande Government and now a term President.
Africa is Born Again.
Many have promised to perfom and end up letting down the voters
👏👏👏👏
hope he will remain grounded in the spirit of THOMAS SANKARA to serve the people selflessly
I PRAY THAT THERE WOULD BE NO POWER STRUGGLE BETWEEN SONKO AND BASSIROU DIOMAYE FAYE AS IT DID HAPPENED BETWEEN THOMAS SANKARA AND BLAISE COMPARE OF BURKINA FASO. I WISH THESE TWO AFRICANS WELL IN THEIR NEW ENDEAVOUR
😂😂❤Girlsyi..😅😅yes Revolution 😅😅
Nice title DW, we can count on you to smear anyone who breaks with the western liberal establishment like Bassirou did when he denounced France.
All the best for our brothers and sisters in senegal 🇸🇳 ❤️ i hope chad 🇹🇩 become free from francais control
May Allah guide you
I am homo sapiens so originaly I am from Africa and probably from Senegal because I love this president
I wish you my country... Eritrea people's....i have dreams 🏠👈🏿
The anchor seems to enjoy Africa having corrupt leaders.....great leaders don't boast of experience but vision and political will.
You may not have heard about him a year ago, but he heard of you, so beware!
* evil Senegalian laughter *
Like joseph from prison to the throne God help him
Unfortunately, the younger ones are not any better than the older corrupt leaders. I hope he does well and changes the narrative.
Lot expectations there.
Muammar Gaddafi was 27 when he took power of Libya
Bravi Senegalese
The emphasis on experience almost irritates me (and the statement only time will tell how clean he is) does not sound positive at all. Without been given the opportunity how would one become experienced. And been a president requires a charismatic leader, how many experience leaders have failed to lead their country on a development path or even maintain a simple democratic environment. This is national development he vows to create the environment, let the nation come as one and make the country a better place. He can't do it alone the experience expatriates need the environment and the goodwill to deliver for a better country. So, the length of experience count but not a preferred requirement here. Remember been a president kind of portrait indirectly heading all the various ministries in the country, and it is impossible to have an experience in all does areas, you need expert guidance in most of these areas to make inform decisions.
Senegal 🇸🇳 as a country really😢😢😢 care for Change look at what happens it's only in nigeria peoples voted for Change but look at what we see in return still same old problems at some point I do ask my self can't good person rule nigeria 😢😢😢😢
He wants to fight corruption, while at the same time starting up extraction of newly discovered oil and gas resources?! 😅😂🤣
Macky should go to prison and France
and their troops must leave ,
Senegalese prove that they are live citizens
As opposed to dead citizens in your country?
ask Baaba, he is the one that will give you the truth.
Ibrahim Traore is the youngest and you know it!
"Youngest DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED" is the context here.
You guys don't read.
He looks 30 though
We've a real president who's 34 years old
Let's hide and don't say what he said about France 😂
While others are busy swooning in grandpapas who can't even stand on the platform
Is he going to beg for money too ?
What do you mean?
We have enought money in our country
I dont know anything about Faye or Senegal. But standing up against western imperialism is always a good thing
Where You from ?
Africa's least experienced leader ever. Sounds wonderful.
tax collector - prisoner - president. 12/10 will move to Senegal
What a turn of events! 😂
I hope he uses his political will to reshape the nation for the new age.
New Prez will receive Germany's ambassador with the following warning: "beware of the Chinese!"
He will be worth a few hundred million euro now?
Nobody has ever had an Experience of coming to be PRESIDENT of any Country.
President Faye was a Tax Inspector in Senegal and he was working with Ousman Sonko who put him under his wings showing him how corrupt The Government of his Predecessor Macky Sall is, and through that notion, Ousman Sonko formed a Political Party call PASTEF and The Newly Elected President of Senegal Bassirou Diomaye Faye was a member of PASTEF.
One come to be a President of a country like Senegal of Bassirou Diomaye Faye , HE is going to introduce his own style of how he will and going to RULE SENEGAL. We shall all witness by The Grace of GOD The AllMighty how and what style of Governance he is going to introduce thus Ruling Senegal Thanks.
Basiru Jomay fai (Gambia- English) Bassirou Diomaye Faye (Sènègal-french)
France 🇫🇷 condemns Russia 🇷🇺 over Ukraine 🇺🇦 but support Israel 🇮🇱 attacking Palestine 🇵🇸
France🤡
It's Africa, so being the youngest president means nothing, I could have gone to Africa in my twenties and become king within the year.
what are you were you are? NOTHING
At times It's better to say nothing.
A brainwashed about the rest of the world
Hey at least the People in the United States can now feel safe Voting for Trump ROFL!!!
The Jesuits at work again
All of a sudden, terror attacks will begin
Senegal 🇸🇳 support Palestine 🇵🇸
France 🇫🇷 support Israel 🇮🇱
Respect to Palestine 🇵🇸 supporters 🫡
Nous sommes contre la Palestine
He doesn’t exactly look thrilled to have the job. His body language and his public speaking skills are horrible.
We don’t give a damn about your point okay
France out
What experience did Obama have or Macron?! Such disgraceful double standard by an African interviewer…
Obama was a senator and Macron worked as an adviser, so they both had political exposure, but I get your point.
@@mxmus08 What good did their experience do for USA and France. The most important thing is the the voice of Senegal has been heard.
@@mxmus08the last presidents in Senegal had experienced but were corrupt to the teeth
Meaning nato is getting kicked out! Russia India China are welcomed🤣🤣🤣
I really doubt those major two have the best interest of the country in mind. They will pillage like any other multi national entity.
how old his the Man
