Abdou Diouf was Senegal’s president during the political transition described in the excerpt. He won a third presidential term in elections followed by renewed violence in Casamance and elsewhere in early 1993. In the closely contested March 2000 presidential election, he was defeated in the second round by opposition leader Abdoulaye Wade, ending nearly four decades of Socialist rule.

Le récit
Abdou Diouf appears in the excerpt as Senegal’s incumbent president during the early 1990s and the final phase of long-standing Socialist political dominance. His election to a third term was followed by increased violence in Casamance and elsewhere in early 1993, linking the presidential contest to a period of national tension.
The March 2000 presidential election brought Diouf into a close contest with Abdoulaye Wade, the leader of the Senegalese Democratic Party. After a tense second round of voting, Wade emerged victorious. The result ended nearly forty years of Socialist rule in Senegal.
Diouf’s defeat marked a major change in Senegalese political leadership. The transition was presented as a peaceful electoral succession rather than a rupture brought about by violence, even though the new government inherited the unresolved Casamance conflict.
