Hello and welcome to Kewoulo. In this press review, this Tuesday, May 06, 2025 we explore the burning subjects, the major challenges and the unpublished revelations that punctuate Senegalese news. Stay with us to know everything, without detour.
Politics and Governance
- first figures from the Diomaye-Sonko government (investigation, Les Échos, Direct News): the government publishes its first results. The extractor sector would have generated 236 billion FCFA in the 1st half of 2024. These figures are welcomed but also questioned by certain newspapers which believe that they obscure other fundamental problems (Direct News).
- Internal political challenges:
- Thierno Alassane Sall Refuses to join Diomaye (Les Échos).
- Abdoulaye Daouda Diallo is positioned against the APR (news point).
- Tensions within the APR With the suspicion of a “mole” at the Court of Auditors (Yoor-Yoor).
- Judicial release and anti -corruption control:
- The financial prosecutor’s office is investigating suspected billions (Liberation).
- Several figures like Amadou Sall et Tabaski Ngom are the subject of suspicions or auditions (source A, L’Obs).
The power in place begins its governance with visible economic results, but these are not enough to calm internal political tensions and criticisms on priorities. The opposition remains active, fractures in the old parties deepened, and the fight against anti -corruption takes on a more visible turn.
Society and economy
- Unions and strikes:
- Walfquotides evokes the threat of state asphyxiation by the unions, while The pact is qualified as unstable.
- Teachers of military engineering and school construction are opposed (Direct News).
- Price of foodstuffs and agriculture:
- Tribune talks about the difficulties of the Arachidière sector.
- The EITI report (Initiative for Transparency in Extractive Industries) fuels the debate on the distribution of wealth.
The economic reforms displayed by the State come up against a tense social reality. Union movements, agricultural difficulties and concerns related to the sharing of wealth highlight an urgent need for inclusive and structural responses to avoid a social crisis.
Various facts and justice
- Current trials and scandals:
- Accusations against Tibo in a financial case (release).
- Explosive file on Tabaski Ngom (L’OBS).
- Sogip DG trial Around the management of land (forum).
