This Monday, December 30, a few hours before New Year’s Eve, Independence Square in Dakar is in full swing. On this sunny afternoon, many citizens stormed this heart of the capital until nightfall. What do they remember from this year 2024 which is ending? The answer seems obvious to every Senegalese. This is the case of Babacar, Omar or Mariama.
Indeed, the Senegalese remain amazed by the revolution they carried out on March 24, by electing President Diomaye Faye in the first round of the presidential election. The honeymoon with their new leader clearly continues. The election of the PASTEF candidate is, for them, the event of the year.
However, the Senegalese do not fail to remind the new masters of Dakar of their expectations. For other Africans living outside Senegal, different events mark this past year. This is the case of Sarah, a Parisian of Guinean origin. For her, the highlights of the year are the Paris Olympic Games and the African Cup of Nations, organized and won by Ivory Coast.
For Delphin, an Ivorian on vacation in Dakar, these are moments in his personal and professional life that were memorable in 2024.
