Le FDR appelle à la résistance contre la répression et l'acharnement judiciaire
The Front for the Defense of Democracy and the Republic (FDR) held a press conference on Tuesday, February 10, to denounce the violence that struck Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar (UCAD), resulting in one death and numerous injuries among the students.
Speaking to the press, the FDR, through its coordinator Oumar Sarr, offered its condolences to the bereaved family, to the students, teachers and administrative and technical staff of the universities, as well as to the entire Senegalese nation.
“This death is unacceptable. The violence perpetrated against students whose only fault is demanding their scholarship payments in the hope of being able to study under even minimal conditions for success is therefore unforgivable,” declared Oumar Sarr.
The FDR unequivocally condemns the intervention of the defense and security forces on university campuses and demands that those responsible be held accountable. The organization also calls for the reopening of university restaurants and the immediate withdrawal of law enforcement from university campuses.
It also denounces the country's economic and social situation, characterized by rampant inflation, endemic unemployment, and increased repression against opponents and journalists. The organization calls on citizens to rise up and say no to this situation and demand profound changes in the face of a declining economy, a colossal domestic debt, and excessive taxation.
He demands the immediate establishment of a commission of inquiry to determine responsibility for the proven security flaws in the system for managing national identity cards, passports and voter cards.
The FDR is also calling for a massive mobilization on February 16 at the National Assembly to say no to the judicial harassment against opponents, journalists, columnists and opinion leaders.
"The time has come for our people to rise up as one to save Senegal, its economy, its stability, its democracy and its freedoms," the spokesperson concluded.
