[Billet d'humour] Pastef : la rupture… version ndogou
It smells like déjà vu. Or rather, déjà vu. At the Palace, they're bringing out the pots and pans again and serving up political "ndogou" (a traditional Senegalese meal) just like in the good old days. After the Pastef departmental coordinators, journalist Madiambal Diagne is now announcing another feast. Members of parliament from the same party have been invited, at the solemn invitation of the president. Table service, almost official photos, carefully calibrated smiles.
There is applause. There is a break. Yes, the break in the fast.
As for the rest, we're still searching for the famous boundary between governing the state and partisan politics. We were promised an impenetrable wall; instead, we find a revolving door.
Did previous regimes do the same thing? Exactly. The "system" changes tenants, but the dishes remain.
Perhaps this overwhelming majority — no less mechanical — will take advantage of dessert to be briefed on the urgency of adopting the bill on “acts against nature”.
We remember, however, that not so long ago, this same galaxy, in the darkness of opposition, promised the criminalization of homosexuality.
Instead, punishments are being made harsher on one side and, on the other, whistleblowers are being warned.
Morality under a bell jar, whistles against whistleblowers.
A strange kind of teaching. They bang on the table, but not too loudly; they hold up examples, but behind closed doors. And while the guests toast to the "transformation," the citizen, for his part, counts the place settings and wonders: is it a radical break or just a simple reshuffling of chairs?
Ultimately, the problem isn't the "ndogou" meal. It's political indigestion.
