His message in full
“Dear compatriots,
Dear activists and supporters
We chaired the first meeting of the party’s Political Bureau, after more than a year of interruption beyond our control.
We give thanks to the Lord and ardently thank the Senegalese people for the provisional outcome of our struggle, with the election of Brother Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye to the supreme office of our Republic.
Dear compatriots, our real struggle has just begun: that of the liberation of the Senegalese people through the success of our fight for sovereignty, good governance and the fair and equitable redistribution of our wealth.
PASTEF will be the spearhead of this new episode of our common adventure. All I can promise you is that WE WILL SUCCEED, inshallah.
Dear activists, we will resume and relaunch our political activities through the reorganization, restructuring and revitalization of the party, with our sights set on the organization of its first Congress in a few months.
On another note, the party will assume its pan-Africanist and sovereignist option, by strengthening its political partnerships at the African and sub-regional levels. To this end, we are planning a tour, at the invitation of our partners, which should start with stops in Guinea Conakry, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.
We will also strengthen our political partnerships with the rest of the world by warming existing relationships and exploring the many new solicitations coming from all continents. Under this chapter, we will welcome in Dakar, from May 14 to 18, 2024, a delegation of French INSOUMIS, made up of elected officials and led by Mr. Jean Luc Mélanchon.
To all our dead, detained and wounded,
To all those who have suffered in their family or their work,
For all the sacrifices made,
To the Senegalese people,
To Africa,
We will vanquish ! »
#Senegal
