Credit: Reuters/Joe Penney By Diadie Ba DAKAR | Mon Apr 2, 2012 9:47am EDT DAKAR (Reuters) - Senegal's Macky Sall took his oath as president of the West African country on Monday under the gaze of regional leaders due to hold emergency talks later on the crisis in neighboring Mali. The ex-prime minister won nearly 66 percent in last month's run-off vote to defeat incumbent Abdoulaye Wade, his former mentor, in a tense election that nevertheless reinforced Senegal's credentials as the most stable democracy in mainland West Africa. But what was hailed as a victory for African democracy was overshadowed days later by a coup in Mali which emboldened separatist rebels to seize major towns in the northern half of the country where they want to make their homeland. Sall, 50, ran for a seven-year mandate but has pledged to reduce the presidential term to five years and to stick to an existing two-term limit. It was the move by 85-year-old Wade to seek a third term that sparked street protests leading up to the election in which at least six people died. Sall joins a new generation of African leaders born after the 1960 wave of independence declarations across the continent, and is one of the few of that number to have first gained power by way of regular elections. Among his peers are Togo's Faure Gnassingbe, installed as president in 2005 on his father's death; Democratic Republic of Congo's Joseph Kabila, who came to power the same way in 2001; and Madagascar's Andry Rajoelina, who with army backing declared himself president in 2009 after a political crisis. Sall has pledged to make tackling poverty a priority, promising to fund cuts to the price of basic necessities such as rice with reductions in the cost of running the government. Among his other top challenges is to keep Senegal's dysfunctional power grid operational and ultimately revamp it. The sector is currently only producing electricity thanks to expensive generators hired last year from a U.S. energy group.
