With our special correspondent in Accra, Jean-Luc Aplogan
It was just after the family photo of the heads of state present at the ECOWAS summit here in Accra that the Senegalese president announced, aside, to a small group of journalists: ” I will go to Kyiv », implying that he had to meet the two parties in conflict. After seeing Putin, Macky Sall should therefore also meet Zelensky.
The Senegalese president did not indicate a date. Even if he said he was reassured after his three-hour meeting with Vladimir Putin, in Sochi, including lunch, he points out that it is not yet won.
He believes that we must also speak to the Western partners who have taken sanctions against Russia. In concluding the brief aside, the Senegalese president made it clear that ” there is still work “We must continue the mediation to hope for immediate responses to the grievances formulated on behalf of African countries.
