Yewwi brings out the utensils 

 Ousmane Sonko and his comrades no longer intend to fight against the State, determined to prevent them from displaying their anger in the public square.

They now want to stay at home to make noise before going to the elections (end of July) to outvote President Macky Sall in the National Assembly.

(…) To be heard, the opposition has therefore decreed a 30-minute pot concert this evening, starting at 8 p.m.

And it won't just be about making noise with the pans.

Vuvuzelas and vehicle horns are welcome. 

 The purpose of this new initiative

will be to show Macky Sall that he will lose the majority in the National Assembly on the evening of July 31, and nip in the bud any desire for a third candidacy ( presidential). 

in these pans, will Yewwi find enough quality food to calm her hunger?

Mystery and rubber ball…

The main opposition coalition is putting water in its bissap

To say the least, Yewwi Askan Wi having postponed to a later date the demonstrations she had planned for yesterday Wednesday.

Admittedly, it is far from having laid down its arms in its enterprise of protest against the rejection of its national list which must lead the restless and popular mayor of Ziguinchor, Ousmane Sonko, but which was challenged,

, because vitiated by the presence of a candidate designated as incumbent and substitute on the same document.

An error, according to the opposition, but an eliminatory fault, according to the Senegalese ministry of the interior, in charge of the elections.

will the power also be able to put the ball down to safeguard peace in a country which needs it so much after the pre-election violence of March 2021?

For the moment, the only strategy of the Senegalese power which consisted in prohibiting marches and meetings, in imprisoning militants and preventing leaders from moving according to their will, this strategy has hardly evolved and could remain so until to the holding of elections.

Is muzzling the opposition the best way to give yourself every chance of having a national assembly won over?

 Democracy is regressing in Senegal. 

This democracy is going through a serious degeneration,

Opponents today are reduced to claiming the same rights as forty years ago: to demonstrate, to access public media, to have guarantees of transparency with regard to organization of elections.

Given the current climate of tension, if the opposition leaders remain excluded from the July 31 legislative elections, an explosion of violence is to be feared.

Are you worried about the future of Senegal?

several neighboring countries – Guinea, Burkina Faso, Mali – have experienced worrying politico-military crises in recent years with the return of putschs, the intensification of violence between communities and the presence of jihadists.

In Senegal, we tend to believe in a form of exception, but this is an illusion.

The country is not immune to these excesses, warns the historian.

(…) Many Senegalese feel trapped and have nothing to lose.

When I see all these students revising their lessons under the lampposts until late at night on the campus of the University of Dakar, it breaks my heart.

The country offers them so few prospects.

What will they do with their future?

Just like the silence of the state when three people perish in demonstrations, as was the case recently.

dialogue is vital.
