President Kagame has arrived in Dakar, Senegal to attend the swearing-in of President Macky Sall who was re-elected for a second term.

President Macky Sall won election with 58% of the vote casts in February this year.

More than 66 percent of 6.7 million registered voters took part in the election.

Sall, who first came to power in 2012 after defeating incumbent Abdoulaye Wade, defeated four challengers including Idrissa Seck, another former prime minister, and Ousmane Sonko, a former tax officer.
