Since you sold a few books, and the UPF begged on their knees for you to come back, you no longer feel and seem to disdain your Monday columns which have become too unglamorous in your eyes…

You don’t know what sublime dates you’re missing.

Nature abhors the vacuum. Will you allow me to replace you for a while? Because the news, I don’t know if it’s the winter heat, has become boiling hot.Don’t worry, I’ll be brief…

Read the column: The Disaster That Is Looming in Senegal for 2024

Is it necessary to return to the complaint of Adji Raby Sarr who is dragging before the judges Pierre Goudiaby Atépa for defamation? To put it simply, the president of the Senegal Investors Club, in theory the holy of the holier than thou, calls a young woman, dedicated to loathing by the little people who adore guru Sonko, a thief and manipulator (understand a euphemism that embellishes liar, bitch and perhaps worse).

For two years, Adji Raby Sarr, insulted, defamed, threatened, by the eyes of the kings of opinion who govern us from social networks, has no identity, even less dignity and, as for personality, no let’s not talk about it.

Until the wheel of history decides to turn for her: Ousmane Sonko is in prison, the Pastef party dissolved and the living legend Pierre Goudiaby Atepa waits for the Court to decide on his fate on the injunction of this masseuse in early retirement, who could have ended much worse.

The Lessons of Cooperation Between Senegal and The Gambia

I say that, I say nothing: withdrawing his remarks and publicly asking for forgiveness while crawling, it does not kill, it just scratches the knees and self-esteem…
Parlons de choses sérieuses : l’indignation sélective de la Société civile, laquelle, d’après les titres des confrères, se résume à cinq personnes que j’ai la flemme de citer. Ils sont vachement furieux des violations des droits de l’Homme sous nos cieux. Mais non, on ne parle pas de femme violée, mais de casseurs embastillés. Nuance.

Let’s talk about serious things: the selective indignation of Civil Society, which, according to the titles of the colleagues, boils down to five people that I am too lazy to name. They are really furious with the human rights violations under our skies. But no, we are not talking about raped women, but about embattled thugs. Oh, the irony !

It is the supreme indicator that teaches us that our freedoms are in danger. Personally, I’m starting to believe that I’m not far from being taken for an animal. For having nicknamed the President of the Republic « His Roundness » for twelve years and having criticized him all this time (he is not the only one: I have a hard time speaking well of people), if he didn’t have me thrown in prison like a vulgar thug, that either means that he doesn’t know about it, or that he thought that there are animals that don’t deserve to be get your hands dirty.

In both cases, it merits feeling offended…
But all the same, the public prosecutors who receive our editions, we call that a legal deposit, could have been zealous, right? Well, no, nothing…

Do you want my opinion? No big deal, I’ll give it anyway…
Civil Society, ah, the big scam, which officiates with panache, until now, only cared about street corner politics: the goodwill of the third term has become pointless, and since you have to live on something thing, these brave people invest themselves in a new breed of fellow citizens, political prisoners! One day, these brave prophets of laxity and naughty little arrangements will plead the cause of prison guards who, having no one to watch, will lose their livelihood.

In a normal country, civil society comes out of the constituted bodies, it is… better, it is. What do you think of Cese? For example, the boss of lawyers, their president to say things like everyone else, when he speaks in the name of freedoms, law, justice, he has the legitimacy, the right and even the duty. Bosses of employers or entrepreneurs, presidents of bankers’ or insurers’ unions, industrialists, bosses of farmers’, breeders’ and fishermen’s unions, artists, sportsmen, health and education employees, are the spokespersons of millions of these Senegalese who build our Nation on a daily basis.
This is the civil society, the real one, the one that deserves to be listened to. Unfortunately, she does not take her responsibilities, preferring to hide in her comfortable anonymity, and to give way to a group of usurpers fond of the populist thrills on which they have been feeding and fattening for several decades now.

Arrest of 11 People: Urban Security (SU) Thwarts an Attack in Dakar

Macky Sall, who announced his retirement for April 2, 2024, has a job. He must restore order in the country before returning the keys to his villa on Avenue Senghor, and above all each actor in his place on the public scene. First and foremost, sorting out the three hundred and some licences that authorize anyone to claim to govern us is an emergency. Because the danger that awaits us, with the recent modification of the articles of the Electoral Code, is that we can elect a bank robber and entrust him with the keys to the public treasury.
I will always be told that we are in the country of Mamadou Bitiké, this Republic that back pain has led to the edge of the precipice…
