Dakar: When Bassirou Diomaye Faye is sworn in on Tuesday after winning Senegal's presidential election on a wave of change, the challenges he faces seem as tough as the expectations are high.
Priority projects
Faye set out his priorities in his first public statements after his election victory: Lower the cost of living, fight corruption, and ensure national reconciliation.
Despite three tense years and deadly unrest, he made a first step on the path to reconciliation by meeting outgoing president Macky Sall on Thursday, just days after Faye's release from jail.
He noted that Sall's "vigilance and commitment had guaranteed a free, democratic and transparent vote".
