0:05 Get your facts right. I mean no malice but Africa's elected YOUNGEST EVER president was Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia at age 40. He was born in 1924 and 40 years later in 1964 got elected as Zambia's first president. Congratulations to Diomaye Faye...

🇸🇳- إنما نحن نحترم حق جميع من يرفعون أصواتهم حول العالم للتعبير عن آرائهم بأسلوب سلمي يراعي القانون — حتى لو كانت آراؤهم مخالفة لآرائنا. وسنرحب بجميع الحكومات السلمية المنتخبة شرط أن تحترم جميع أفراد الشعب في ممارستها للحكم. هذه النقطة لها أهميتها لأن البعض لا ينادون بالديمقراطية إلا عندما يكونون خارج مراكز السلطة — ولا يرحمون الغير في ممارساتهم القمعية لحقوق الآخرين عند وصولهم إلى السلطة. إن الحكومة التي تتكون من أفراد الشعب وتدار بواسطة الشعب هي المعيار الوحيد لجميع من يشغلون مراكز السلطة' بغض النظر عن المكان الذي تتولى فيه مثل هذه الحكومة ممارسة مهامها' إذ يجب على الحكام أن يمارسوا سلطاتهم عبر الاتفاق في الرأي' وليس عبر الإكراه. ويجب على الحكام أن يحترموا حقوق الأقليات' وأن يعطوا مصالح الشعب الأولوية على مصالح الحزب الذي ينتمون إليه.
