Hello and welcome to Kewoulo. In this press review, this Wednesday, May 07, 2025 we explore the burning subjects, the major challenges and the unpublished revelations that punctuate Senegalese news.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
- Sonko and the government: several titles announce strong measures from Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, notably in “Direct News” and “Yoor-Yoor”, where he undertakes to ensure a good Tabaski and to make important decisions for the country.
- Macky Sall: Always present in the media landscape, newspapers like “Le Soleil” and “Source A” evoke actions of the State under its direction, in particular efforts on the economy and infrastructure.
- Political conflicts: tensions between different political leaders such as Mansour Faye and Barthélémy Dias are reported in “Actu point”.
The Senegalese political landscape continues to evolve between government initiatives and political rivalries, in a context where the responsibility of the actors remains essential to preserve institutional stability.
Society and economy
- Tabaski in preparation: The emphasis is placed on the supply of sheep and government measures to support the populations for the party.
- Fuel and expensive life: “Rewmi” raises the question of the price of gasoline in Senegal, higher than elsewhere, which reflects general economic discomfort.
- Lowering and land management: “Liberation” reveals a case of land corruption in the BOA subdivision.
Senegalese society is going through a period of economic and social pressures where government communication and the fight against corruption must be part of a logic of transparency and equity.
Justice and security
- Judicial affairs: “Les Échos” evokes the reinforced financial pool, and “the witness” reports surveys on higher education.
- Dangerous connections: “survey” speaks of deadly connections, evoking worrying networks or complicities in certain spheres.
The judicial sector plays a crucial role in the restoration of citizen trust. It is essential that justice continues its missions in independence, rigor and respect for fundamental rights.
Religion
- The President or the Head of State has doubled the religious (“info”) and strengthens his links with the brotherhoods, in particular in anticipation of the Tabaski.
Relations between the State and religious actors must remain balanced, in respect of the secularism of the state and the spiritual role of the brotherhoods, guarantors of social peace.
-Sport
- International football: The semi-finals of the Champions League are on the front page of several newspapers (“record”, “Rewmi Sports”, “Point Actu Sport”, “Stades”). Inter Milan eliminates Barça, which marks a striking fact.
- National team: Senegal is up against Chile, a match praised as a historic performance.
Sport remains a strong vector of social cohesion. It deserves institutional and media support in a dynamic of development, fair play and talent valuation.
