The year 2024 will have been a pivotal stage in the history of Senegal. Indeed, it was in the space of nine months that the Senegalese people took their destiny into their own hands in a political context fraught with threats and uncertainties. It came close to seeing the country plunge into a precipice dug by a regime in dire straits.
Not content with having been forced to give up the third term that he so desired and imposed, President Macky Sall deliberately chose to drag Senegal into turmoil. The thugs armed with nebulous budgetary procedures, the loudmouths who, like dragons, spit fire on television sets, the slander to flout the honor of constitutional judges, the frenzied imprisonment of more than a thousand of women and men falsely accused of belonging to a special force coming from the imagination of a Minister of the Interior with barbaric methods, this is the explosive cocktail which distressed the country in 2024, thus prolonging the unease resulting from the scheme and the bloody repression initiated in 2021.
Faced with this situation, we must admit that the salvation of Senegal is the work of the invisible hand, that of the Lord, God Almighty.
As for the political actors, there is one, in this case Mr. Ousmane Sonko, whose responsibility and intelligence made it possible to transcend the equations which emanated from the exasperating attitude of President Macky Sall. It was with complete serenity, within the walls of Cap Manuel prison, that Mr. Ousmane Sonko thwarted the legal and political tricks taken to compromise his candidacy for the presidential election initially scheduled for February 2024.
Instead of an organized force, a citizen force!
While Macky Sall threatened the Senegalese by invoking organized forces, Mr. Sonko constituted his political backbone and even his citizen force to convince the Senegalese to consider the future with his heart in the person of Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye. Thus was declined the breviary of a stainless alliance “Sonko Moy Jomay” and “Jomay Moy Sonko”.
The choice of heart and reason was therefore confirmed by 54% of voters who carried Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye to victory; that of a generation which sounded the political death knell of the caciques. It is also the beginning of a political era which replaces national sovereignty with the cogs of a system of governance from which the Senegalese have suffered too much. This is evidenced by the economic and financial scandals whose authors must under no circumstances escape justice. And since we legally rely on justice, it is also appropriate to return it to the memory of the martyrs of the revolution whose climax resulted in the election of President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye, under the aegis by Ousmane Sonko
In total, the 365 days (2024) will be rewritten in 2025 on the principle of national sovereignty. However, the Senegalese cannot escape the essential sacrifices to take eternal control of their destiny. It could not be otherwise because sovereignty is a long journey included in the 2050 agenda.
