Election...
As I have been mentioning here for some weeks now I did not think Wade would win in the first (yesterdays) election barring fraud. It now looks like he will not. Early polls point to a tight race between Wade and Macky Sall who happens to be a GEOLOGIST and was once minister of enery and MINES under Wade. A runoff seems pretty likely now and I am happy for the people of Senegal because they appear to be having a fair non-fraudulent election. Hopefully the fairness will continue through the runoff. As far as OLE, as I also stated before maybe a change in government will reinforce the view the world has on a democratic Senegal and promote more investmnet which can only be good for OLE. A deal might take longer but it may well be worth it. Comments?

Thanks Jima. It is nice to have a new positive poster here that has the patience to wait this out and sees the value of this property.

About the Senegal elections: here's a 24 min VIDEO report, from today, by Al Jazeera English. I think you'll agree Al Jazeera is every bit as good as CNN: https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/insidestory/2012/02/201222781116481864.html
