The President of the “URV LIGGEY SENEGAL” movement, Dr. Souleymane Mbengue, reacted to the comments of French President Emmanuel Macron concerning the withdrawal of French troops in Africa, going so far as to speak of ingratitude towards African leaders. “We have of course heard the words of the French President attesting that our sovereignty would be dependent on the presence of French military bases. Even more serious, he accused us of being ungrateful because of an absence of the word “thank you” a sign of recognition to “We strongly welcome the immediate response of Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko to reframe President Emmanuel Macron,” he declared.
“However, I judged the PM’s response to be very courteous because, in my opinion, it should have been much more impactful and intense given the indecent treatment received. Who is more ungrateful than the one for whom Senegalese riflemen fought at the price of their lives and in return receive shootings instead of their due The examples will be multiplied if we revisit the history of the France-Africa relationship.
France loves Africa without Africans. To say that he is only interested in our natural resources and maintaining Africa under his domination,” he said.
According to the leader of the Union for a Virtuous Republic LIGEEY Senegal, “Africa today is full of educated, competent and uninhibited young people and leaders who do not expect any lesson in moral probity from France. Our total sovereignty over all its forms will be acquired. Any bilateral or multilateral partnership between Senegal and any country will have as its basis mutual respect, equal dignity, a win-win in short a total safeguard of the interests of Senegal…”.
