Cheikh Tidiane Gadio : « Le pays est bloqué par... »
On the sidelines of the installation ceremony for the village chief of Saldé, of which he is the patron, former Foreign Minister Cheikh Tidiane Gadio sharply criticized President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and his former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko. According to his remarks reported by Walfadjri, the "internal squabbles" between the two leaders have overshadowed urgent economic and social issues, while Senegalese citizens await tangible improvements in their living conditions. "For the two years they have been in power, there have been more political problems to manage between the two men than the difficulties faced by the Senegalese people," he lamented.
Describing the two officials as "immature" and calling the current situation a "disgrace" for the country, Gadio denounced a Senegal "economically paralyzed by amateurism." He also criticized them for focusing on the 2029 elections at the expense of the population's immediate concerns. "The current debate should be about how to lift Senegalese people out of this hunger that is knocking at their door," the former foreign minister told Walfadjri.
The Pan-Africanist specifically mentioned Saldé, his hometown, which, in his view, does not deserve to remain mired in poverty after more than six decades of independence. He also lamented that Senegal continues to import rice from Asia despite its resources and the potential of projects like the agropoles of Matam and Sédhiou. "Paradoxically, we buy rice from Vietnam and Thailand," he remarked, before advocating for "significant changes." For Cheikh Tidiane Gadio, "Saldé and Senegal deserve better."

quoi dire de plus. Certains pays produisent des avions.
Je l’ai toujours trouvé factuel et pas profond dans ses analyses.
Vous êtes mal placé pour donner des leçons de bonne gouvernance.
Qui se souvient encore de vous, après 9 ans à la tête de la diplomatie sénégalaise ?
