  • Not Africa's youngest president but Africa's youngest democratically elected president. Stop trying to side line Traore. We love Ibrahim Traore so much. Haters

    Congrats Senegalese you are on your road to freedom, freedom rise in Africa
  • Either Senegal are doomed with a dictator for many years since he is only 44 imagine ruling till he is 90 like some Camerounian leader Or they are bound for better things, with young and forward thinking leadership. I hope that the later is the case. He must start work right now, Senegal can be the new Singapore.
