The legislative campaign in Senegal, which is experiencing intense political mobilization, was recently shaken by a worrying incident during a tour of Barthélémy Dias, mayor of Dakar and leading opposition figure. In the middle of a caravan Thièsa vehicle that is an integral part of the inter-coalition procession « Samm Your Neck-Help »was ravaged by flames while crossing the famous Thiessois promenade.
This event, which is added to a series of incidents observed in the country, is causing concern. Abdou Mbow, a key player in the inter-coalition, expressed his alarm at an increase in tensions and political provocations. He spoke of an atmosphere of growing mistrust and mistrust, particularly after the recent attack on the headquarters of the Taxawu movement, adding: “We are not accusing anyone, but the calls to arm oneself launched by certain political actors are worrying. »
Although the exact causes of this fire remain unknown, members of the inter-coalition stressed the urgency of maintaining a climate of peace and security to guarantee a peaceful and democratic campaign. The police, mobilized immediately after the incident, took measures to clarify the circumstances of the incident.
Police recovered footage from surveillance cameras around the fire scene. This investigation should make it possible to determine whether this fire was accidental or whether it was the result of an intentional act. This mobilization of the authorities comes in response to the palpable tensions which punctuate the electoral process in the country.
Barthélémy Dias, intensely involved in this legislative campaign, is holding numerous meetings and speeches to ensure the support of voters. In a context where the outcome of this election could play a determining role for the political future of Senegal, vigilance around its security and that of its supporters is now essential.
This tense campaign climate marked by unforeseen events places security forces on the front line to preserve the serenity of the electoral process. The rest of the electoral campaign therefore remains to be followed closely, as the nation aspires to a transparent and peaceful process for the next legislative elections.
