US President Donald Trump is placing himself at the heart of preparations for America's 250th anniversary celebrations, transforming what was intended to be a nationwide commemoration into a highly visible showcase of his administration's vision and priorities.
Senegal on Saturday marked the 66th anniversary of its independence with celebrations held across the country, highlighted by a grand civil-military parade presided over by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye in the central city of Thies, about 70 km east of the country's capital, Dakar.
