Transforming its senior officials into clowns, circus entertainers to make them play the clownish role of selective and targeted censors of the electoral game, this Senegal, that of October 2023, of Macky Sall, is unrecognizable.
A judicial agent of the State administratively attached to the Ministry of Finance and Budget, “forced” to become involved in an electoral dispute concerning a single person, without financial repercussions for the State whose interests he is supposed to defend.

A chief electoral officer who uses
secrecy so as not to meet the representative of a candidate restored to his rights to be a voter and eligible by a court decision to give him his sponsorship forms.
Supreme Court judges ordered to expressly file defamation case
brought to cassation only a few months ago while others which preceded it
for years still waiting in the dusty drawers of the supreme jurisdiction.

Tell me, which is the only country in the world where a minimum sentence of
suspended prison sentence or fine for a simple offense of defamation could definitively invalidate the candidacy for the presidential election of the leader of the opposition?
This country is unrecognizable in the protean expression of its singular revanchist trajectory
dressed in the official trappings of the State yet a mythical receptacle of the collective desire for
live together in the same nation, expressed by a single people, pursuing the same goal!

All this because of the sole fact of the Prince who, incapable of entering for 12 years into the sacred vestments of the head of state, of grasping the meaning of history, tramples on elegance, good measure, height, meaning of overcoming, strictly republican adversity, preferring
descend into the abysmal depths of this pitiful fight of belluaires and others
mirmillons.
Ousmane Sonko’s obsessive and almost irrational fear has no limits.
In this fall of morality and the progressive withering away of humans in power, we confuse everything.
But the most painful is the perversion of the law subject to the contortions of politics, sailing according to the moods of a leader who is finishing but concerned about
its legacy heavy with litigation with multiple dimensions (murders, torture, prisoners
policies, embezzlement of public funds, settling of scores, two-tier justice,
recruitment of public insulters promoted to nominal or elective positions, privatization
of national security, instrumentalization of justice, excessive politicization of
electoral administration, etc.) involving loved ones who we would never want to see suffer
the fate that we nevertheless put others through in the name of state arbitrariness.
But as long as you’re there with Ousmane Sonko, since you don’t want to see him anymore
neither voter, nor eligible, nor even justiciable, why not ask so promptly and
so clearly to “judges on command” to definitively pronounce the forfeiture
of his Senegalese nationality? Painful to live these moments and not be able to do anything,
if not to write to express the disgust at seeing this country that we love so deeply take the opposite direction of history, that of painful democratic regression.
