Macky Sall recalé par l'UA, Thierno Alassane Sall désigne les vrais responsables
Speaking about the African Union's rejection of Macky Sall's candidacy for UN Secretary-General, Thierno Alassane Sall pointed to the direct responsibility of the Senegalese authorities. For the leader of La République des Valeurs, Dakar's lack of involvement proved fatal. "If Senegal had supported the candidacy instead of letting it happen, for a thousand reasons, these countries might have rallied behind it," he stated during the Grand Jury program this Sunday, March 29, specifically mentioning a lack of mobilization within ECOWAS.
The guest believes that the lack of official and acknowledged support weighed heavily in the diplomatic balance. "In any case, it's a failure for the Senegalese state," he declared, arguing that the government "should have ensured this candidacy from the outset" and "acknowledged it before its peers in ECOWAS and the African Union." He considers this attitude "unworthy of the state."
Despite well-known disagreements, Thierno Alassane Sall stands by his party's support for the former head of state. "We had a dispute with Macky Sall internally, on which we remain firm. But it so happens that this Macky Sall is no longer in power," he explained. According to the MP, this support is based on strategic considerations related to the influence Macky Sall could bring to Africa on the international stage.
He also calls on the Senegalese authorities to separate domestic political disputes from global diplomatic issues. "Our personal political differences with Macky Sall have nothing to do with the relationship Macky Sall might have with Africa and the rest of the world," he maintains.
Finally, Thierno Alassane Sall points out that the former president "is not facing any legal proceedings" and "is not ineligible in the Senegalese sense of the term." These arguments, he argues, bolster the legitimacy of this candidacy on an international level.
