SENEGAL-POLITICS-WADE-FILES
(FILES) Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade (R) adjusts a ribbon on his son's jacket, Karim Wade, (C) during a ceremony to mark the arrival of two Senegal airlines airbus on January 19, 2011 in Dakar. Senegal's former president Abdoulaye Wade will make a controversial return to his homeland on April 24, 2014 -- a day later than planned -- after his plane was held up in Morocco, with supporters claiming foul play by his political rivals. Wade, who held power from 2000 to 2012, was expected in Dakar on Wednesday for his first trip back to the west African nation since he moved to France after a bitter defeat to arch rival and current leader Macky Sall. Wade, 87, is deeply divisive figure whose attempt to extend his mandate in 2012 sparked widespread unrest across Senegal, with violent and at times deadly demonstrations in Dakar plaguing the run-up to the election. The country's new authorities have gone after his son Karim, accusing him of using corrupt means to acquire a fortune of 117 billion CFA francs (178 million euros, $246 million) when he was a so-called "super minister" in his father's cabinet.
