During a conference on the theme “What democratic model for a sovereign, stable and integrated Senegal?” », Mimi Touré, former Prime Minister of Senegal, provided an uncompromising diagnosis of the ethical and moral challenges facing Africa. Alongside personalities such as Me Bamba Diop, Ngoudé Mboup and Amadou Ba, she highlighted the defects that hinder the development of African societies, in particular corruption and the loss of fundamental values.
According to Mimi Touré, corruption is omnipresent and expresses itself in various forms, well beyond public administration. She stressed that this phenomenon affects not only institutions, but also individual behavior, thus affecting social cohesion and economic development. The former senior representative of the president also criticized the rise of a model of society focused on consumerism and appearance. “Today, what matters is owning the latest smartphone, a big car or a luxurious house. But when you are honest, humble and simple, you interest no one, not even the voters,” she lamented, calling for a profound change in mentality. Mimi Touré insisted on the need to redefine the values that guide our societies. “The world in which we live has an urgent need to rediscover ethics, morality and above all humanism. These three pillars are inseparable to build a better future,” she said. To conclude, she urged African leaders and their populations to raise moral and ethical standards, while advocating a transformation of behavior. According to her, only collective awareness will make it possible to build a truly sovereign, stable and prosperous society.
