Senegal has recently undergone a significant political transition with the swearing-in of a former opposition figure, who was recently freed from prison, as the new president. This development follows the certification of the opposition's victory by authorities, marking a pivotal moment in Senegal's political landscape. The election has been described as a 'game-changing' event, signaling the beginning of a political revolution within Senegal, across Africa, and in its relations with the rest of the world. Commentators, including Amzat Boukari, highlight this election as indicative of a broader shift in power dynamics, suggesting a growing resistance against US and French imperialism in Africa.
