While the caravan of the “Sénégaal Kessé” coalition was parading along the streets of the town of Ourossogui, the head of the list was surprised to be blocked by the gendarmerie for a few minutes, the time to pass Pastef’s convoy, in the same area.
“We learned that candidate Sonko’s caravan was coming in the opposite direction, and the Gendarmerie asked us nothing less than to give way to him. One of the gendarmes issued an order to the driver of our car at the head of the procession with a broadside of insults.Naturally, refusal to obey an illegal and revolting order.So the gendarmes put one of their vehicles across our path, forcing us to witness the passage of the King of Ndoumbelane Because it is not a simple matter. country caravan passing by, but a royal court. Everything passes there, from his majesty’s white Hummer, his two ambulances (one marked Ministry of Health, another luxurious), the indecent orgy of gleaming 4 x4s, rental bus, a yard imported from Dakar Elements of the BIP (and apparently the GIGN), vehicles without number plates This ride, parading across Senegal, brushing past the thatched huts and the precarious shelters of the populations. of unprecedented symbolic violence towards our fellow citizens”, said former minister Thierno Alassane Sall. Very angry, TAS recalls that a candidate who yesterday denounced “the gendarmerie of Macky Sall” shows today that nothing has changed, except the godfather of the system. While 41 lists, including ours, finance their own security, the Gendarmerie should protect every Senegalese without privilege. The institution exists to ensure the security of citizens, not to roll out the red carpet for a candidate abusing state resources,” denounces Thierno Alassane Sall, head of the list of the “Sénégaal Kessé” coalition.
