Baadoolo – They look without seeing!
Dalal xel leegui mou feesss! Hot unemployment makes you lose your mind. The dirty air of those who no longer have salaries is even worse. MPs yii sakh dagni yeexa fayeekou! Baadoolo yii nak… There are some who look at you but who don’t see you. Others listen to you but don’t hear you. In the head, the mind is full of images and words that follow one another. Puzzles, literally and figuratively. It’s that nak deukk bi moom, kou wax ak kou waxoul rekk leu. Moo tax student-teacher competition as a market. Good luck !

The government intends to accelerate the social aspect, in particular the protection of vulnerable groups. While voices are beginning to denounce a “blockage” of family security grants since the arrival of the regime, the Head of State questioned yesterday about “the effectiveness of the public national solidarity system”. This is how he indicated, this Wednesday, in the Council of Ministers, “the urgency of overhauling the policy of national solidarity and social protection through better targeting and pooling of public interventions among the poorest and the most vulnerable in our society. In this sense, Bassirou Diomaye Faye insisted on “the imperative need to update and expand to new beneficiaries the programs of family security scholarships, equal opportunities cards, universal health coverage and social transfers in general”. This should ensure, in the short term, he says, “a convergence of objectives and sustained optimization of resources generally intended for social protection”. To do this, he requested “the regular updating of the Single National Register (Rnu)”.
