Senegalese ruler names son energy minister
DAKAR, SENEGAL
A presidential decree published Monday and read on local radio stations announces that the son of Senegal's aging president was named Minister of Energy.
Karim Wade, the son of President Abdoulaye Wade, ran for mayor of Dakar and lost in an election in March 2009. Soon after, his octogenarian father appointed the son "Minister of State and Minister of International Cooperation, Territorial Management, Aerian Transport and Infrastructure." The new title of energy minister will be added to his duties.
The elder Wade has been accused of trying to position his son to seize power upon his death. The post of energy minister is especially crucial now in light of increasingly frequent power cuts in Senegal which have led to riots in parts of the capital.
