States must get in front of this negative trend before spreads across Africa and it is too late. The U.S. should call for President Sall to honor the request of the UN Working Group and release his political rival Mr. Wade and also keep his pledge of a 5 year presidential mandate. President Obama has said that Africa is more important than ever to security and prosperity in the U.S. We have worked very hard in implementing and prioritizing democracy and democratic succession in Africa. The Obama administration must not let our hard work be compromised in Senegal, we have worked too hard and come too far. <image001 .gif> Vinoda Basnayake Of Counsel and Chair of DC Government Relations Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP 101 Constitution Avenue, NW, Suite 900 Washington, DC 20001 Tel: Fax: www.nelsonmullins.com (View Bio) From: elisabeth feliho [mailto; Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2016 5:20 AM To: Vinoda Basnayake; Bob Crowe Cc: Cheikh Tidiane Sy; Mohamed Seydou Diagne; El Hadji Amadou Sall Subject: Revised letter.
