A very junior soldier, who violates his duty of reserve to implicate a high-ranking officer in an attempted coup d’état. This finally happened in Senegal. General Kandé in question here promises to file a complaint against the said soldier.
A video on social networks will push General Souleymane Kandé to come out of his reserve. We see a certain Corporal Fall, on the set of a television broadcasting on the Internet, accusing the General of the Army by name of attempted coup d’état and of conspiracy aimed at preventing President Diomaye Faye from taking office. power. Very verbose, the guest of the show did not skimp on details. He took the opportunity to involve Gendarmerie General Moussa Fall, in terms which denote the little sympathy he has towards this character who is very respected by his subordinates and his peers, all bodies combined.
It should be remembered that it was Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko who, during his campaign, first mentioned maneuvers tending to prevent the new leaders of Pastef, namely President Bassirou Diomaye and Mr. Ousmane Sonko, from accessing in power despite their uncontested victory. The leader of Pastef, campaigning in Ziguinchor for the Legislative elections, declared in front of a large crowd: “There are political apprentices who think that it is on the problem of Casamance that they must campaign. I want to warn them. There are some who say that there was a General, it was because he was doing good work in Casamance that he was sanctioned, etc. Alluding that Ousmane Sonko, since he is from Casamance, wants to weaken the Army so that the people who are there can regain strength. The leader of the Pastef party took the opportunity to warn his adversaries: “If they are courageous, we have taken all the measures, the questions that concern national security, we are not kidding on that. If they’re brave, they just have to come out and talk about it again. We’ll see if they don’t go to prison.” That day, he did not specify that it would be to “rot” there. He also did not indicate that the General referred to in his remarks was called Souleymane Kandé, but everyone understood, especially speaking of his assignment to New Delhi, India.
In any case, based on the statements of the famous “Corporal Fall”, if he is really from the Army, we can consider that he left his reserve, to allow himself, not being from the Dirpa , to speak to the media. This should, at the very least, earn him a sanction from his superiors. In addition to the complaint that General Kandé intends to serve on him. The latter also confirms the statements of Madiambal Diagne on the set of another TV channel. The former General Administrator of the Avenir Communication Group, publisher of the newspaper Le Quotidien, affirmed that General Kandé was still in Dakar.
