Sénégal President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has officially launched his new political party, Kiiraay – Les Patriotes républicains. The name « kiiraay » means « protection » in Wolof, and the president aims to make it a core principle of his future actions.
The launch follows Diomaye Faye’s decision to leave the Pastef party, which he co-founded with former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. The new party is seen as an opportunity for the president to promote his vision and policies.
