Défilé du 4 avril à Thiès : un symbole de continuité et d’équité territoriale, selon Amadou Tidiane Wone
The celebration of the national holiday on April 4, 2026, in Thiès marked a historic turning point. For Amadou Tidiane Wone, Minister-Advisor to the President, this relocation of the national parade constitutes "a strong signal of continuity of the State".
Invited to the program "Point de vue" on RTS, he recalled that this initiative fulfills a wish expressed more than twenty years ago, but which had remained unfulfilled. The actual holding of the parade under the leadership of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye thus gives substance to a long-delayed ambition.
Beyond the institutional aspect, he emphasizes the symbolic significance of Thiès, a "city of resistance" and "railway capital," which embodies the idea of putting "our ambitions for progress back on track." For him, this choice reflects a historical recognition of a city that has seen the emergence of great figures of the state, such as Léopold Sédar Senghor, the city's former mayor.
But the message extends beyond Thiès. The minister-advisor sees in it a broader vision of symbolic territorial development. He warns against the "macrocephaly of the capital," which could foster a sense of marginalization in other regions.
"It is important that the commemoration of our accession to international sovereignty be brought closer to the people wherever they are," he argued, calling for this dynamic to be sustained over time.
