The Parti Démocratique Sénégalais (PDS, Senegalese Democratic Party) was
founded in 1974, after President of the Republic Leopold Senghor had allowed
multipartism. After unsuccessful attempts in 1978, 1983, 1988 and 1993, his
founder and national chairman, the lawyer Abdoulaye Wade (b. 1926), was
eventually elected President of the Republic of Senegal on 19 March 2003 and
reelected on 25 February 2007. In the general election of 3 June 2007, the
PDS was part of the "Coalition Sopi 2007", that received 69 % of the votes
and 131 out of the 151 seats in the Parliament. The general election was
boycotted by the opposition parties, which had already challenged the results
of the presidential election.

Pearl millet (_Pennisetum
glaucum_ (L.) R. Br.) is a staple food and fodder crop in several semi-arid
parts of the world, including sub-
Sahelian Africa. Pearl millet probably
originated from western tropical Africa. (CGIAR website)
