I echo the same. Looks like our Senegalese brothers and sisters have shown us
how it should be done in good taste. They did it without being supervised by
the international community like children, and without dishonesty and illegal
maneuvering. Most impressive of all is how the opposition was able to come
together for the common good of the country, instead of rearing on their hind
legs with everyone wanting to be the leader at the expense of the people and
the country.I have been most impressed with the fact that Senegales overseas
were able to participate in the political process. Bravo Senegal! I hope the
rest of Africa learns from your  example.

 We should congratulate the Senegalese people everywhere for coming this far
 in their political development.
