XALIMANEWS: The daily newspapers return in their Monday publications to the announcement of the withdrawal of Senegal from the list of least developed countries, “a significant step forward” for the country, but which “is accompanied by loss of commercial and financial advantages », explains L’Observateur, pointing out “a poisoned gift”.
The newspaper considers that a “strategic transition is necessary to preserve and strengthen the achievements of economic and social development”, while “debates and rivalries are intensifying to take credit for this success”. Tribune, for example, makes the same observation by emphasizing that the Alliance for the Republic (APR), Macky Sall’s party, “attributes the paternity” of this progress to the former president.
The government, for its part, “tempers” by the voice of the Minister of African Integration and Foreign Affairs. The head of Senegalese diplomacy “speaks of the start of a process and asks to avoid any confusion”, reports Rewmi daily.
“The announcement of Senegal’s withdrawal from the category of least developed countries (LDC) sparked a reaction from the Alliance for the Republic (APR), which welcomes it as a culmination of public policies initiated by the former head of state Macky Sall. However, summarizes Le Soleil, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has clarified that this is just the start of a process that could last five years.
