Le TERA Meeting : un peuple en marche, une révolution en cours (Par Félix Atchade)
On November 8, 2025, Senegal experienced a historic moment. More than 100,000 citizens from all corners of the country converged on Dakar for the TERA Meeting, in an atmosphere of rare unity. From Casamance to Fouta, from Baol to the diaspora, all voices of the nation came together around a single banner: that of the citizen revolution initiated by PASTEF.
An impressive mobilization: a joyful and disciplined human tide, a symbol of a diverse and united Senegal. It was not simply a demonstration of political strength, but the expression of a collective commitment. In the diversity of songs and faces, one could read a shared certainty: the country has changed course.
At the heart of the day, Ousmane Sonko's speech lived up to expectations. Sober, clear, and unusually powerful, it reiterated "a certain truth": we are in the midst of a revolution. Not a revolution of slogans, but a moral, political, social, and economic revolution. PASTEF is at the forefront, but the people are the driving force. By addressing the growing impatience and reaffirming the commitment to a clean break with the past and to sovereignty, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko refocused the national project on the essentials: restoring Senegal's autonomy, its dignity, and its promise.
This moment of popular fervor also recalled the unity of the leadership tandem: the fraternal and strategic alliance between Ousmane Sonko and President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a symbol of continuity in the ongoing revolution and of shared confidence in the mission to rebuild the State.
The ecumenical unity observed that day—Muslims, Christians, women of the sacred grove, religious brotherhoods, laypeople, young and old, rural and urban—illustrates the maturity of a society that has decided to reclaim its political voice. The gathering also proved that the Senegalese revolution is not a partisan endeavor, but a collective process: a slow, demanding march toward justice and sovereignty.
The challenge now is to transform this popular energy into a force for building something new. The revolution will not stop in the stadiums: it must permeate the state, the economy, culture, and conscience. November 8th marked the point of equilibrium between hope and responsibility. PASTEF has shown that it knows how to unite people; it is now up to it to continue governing with the same conviction.
The Senegalese people have spoken, not through the ballot box this time, but through their presence. And their presence says it all: the revolution is underway.
