UCAD : Entre espoir de rupture et épreuve du réel (par Coumba Badiaga)
I speak today with a dual responsibility: that of a student and that of a young journalist driven by the duty to inform. I have the honesty to say what I see, and what many prefer to keep silent about.
With the advent of the new regime, there was real hope within the student community. We hoped for a clean break, better attention to university concerns, and a sincere dialogue with young people. I shared this hope.
Yet, at Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD), the daily reality remains unchanged, marked by the same stigmas: scholarship delays, systemic insecurity, constant psychological pressure, and a climate of tension. These are observable, experienced, and documentable facts. Facts that, today, raise questions.
What is now truly concerning is not only the persistence of these problems, but also the deafening silence, the slowness of the responses, and the growing gap between announced commitments and their actual implementation. As a journalist, I feel compelled to ask this question: when will concrete actions be taken to alleviate the suffering of students?
Denouncing this situation is neither an act of defiance nor a partisan stance. It is an exercise in civic responsibility. The university cannot be a space of permanent tension; it must once again become a sanctuary of knowledge, of civic building, and of hope.
The students of UCAD aren't expecting miracles. They demand consideration, transparency, and decisions that live up to campaign promises. The much-heralded change cannot, and must not, be limited to empty rhetoric.
Saying that is simply doing my job.
To say this is, above all, to defend the future.
