When the President 86 + Years ? old states that "In less than 3 months we will be provided with Portable electric nuclear plans"
When for the launch of the National airlines, thousands of people are invited to witness the delivery of the "brand spanking new state of the art Airbus A-320" (12 Years old crafts leased, former China Spring Airlines), the President states that now, in Senegal we will have aircraft's Made-In-Senegal, of course the crowd was clapping, cheering etc...
Facts: Senegal right now doesn't supply enough electric power, in the best areas, outages of 8 hours per day are routine, in certain less "prestigious" areas, they can be one or more days without any electric power or water (Apparently electricity is required by the water company to pump the water in the water towers...)
Meanwhile, be carefull when you make a visual approach to Dakar (GOOY)at night, the runway lights can be off suddenly !!
