Senegal's New Govt Banks on Continuity Before Elections

Five days after the dissolution of the old government, President Macky Sall has appointed a new one. Prime Minister Amadou Ba, who is also a presidential candidate, said it was a government of continuity.

A new ministry has been created dedicated to the development of the railway system. This is a priority of the outgoing President Macky Sall, according to Ba, insisting in particular on the restoration of the railway line to the town of Tambakunda on the axis which leads to Bamako.

As it stands, it seems Amadou Ba is betting on continuity and the absence of change for a government whose main mission will be to organize the presidential election and to make the Senegalese want to vote for his candidacy.
