News from Dakar-Africas' most west capital city suprised, the whole wide world
when it was announced that President Aboudalaye Sade peacefully stepped down from power,allowing Macky Sally to take over as the new president of Senegal.This was a shock in a good way as it showed how the west African nation's democracy has improved and matured over the over years.This warmly -accepted transition in power proved that Africans can conduct peaceful and successful elections.That view mighty be strongly disputed by some political pundits due to the fact that Mali is currently suffering from a coup-mlitary rules the streets of Bamako which is Mali's capital city.
Sade's mature reaction and the way he handled the matter was applauded by many international leaders including the secretary general of the UN Ban ki-moon and the French president Nicholas Szakorzy.Media reports from Dakar claim that Saye congratulated the newly crowned state president for his achievements over the telephone and the entire Senegalese population warmly embraced Macky Sally who was once Abdoulayes protege.Congratulations to Senegal hopefully more African countries will learn from them that power is not won through the barrels of a gun and mutual peaceful means by arch-rivals can be met for the benefit of the country and its beloved civilians.
