"Des discours forts, des actes faibles" : Tahirou Sarr condamne l'absence de soutien des autorités à la candidature de Macky Sall
In a scathing attack, Tahirou Sarr denounces the lack of support from Senegalese authorities for Macky Sall's candidacy for an international position, seeing it as a major inconsistency and a step backward for pan-African principles.
Indeed, the issue of state support for Senegalese candidates for international leadership positions is generating considerable controversy. Tahirou Sarr did not mince words in denouncing what he considers a serious inconsistency on the part of the authorities.
"The Senegalese government cannot preach Pan-Africanism by day and bury it by night. Refusing to support a son of the country for a global position is to betray its own rhetoric. At this level of responsibility, it is no longer a mistake: it is political pettiness. A Senegalese in a position to lead the UN should be a source of national and continental pride, not a diplomatic embarrassment. It is a denial of Pan-Africanism," he asserts.
A strong statement which, in his view, reflects a profound disconnect between the ambitions displayed on the African stage and the actions taken in diplomatic reality.
For Tahirou Sarr, refusing to accompany a compatriot involved in an international competition amounts to betraying the very principles of pan-Africanism.
"By distancing itself from this candidacy, this government embodies a superficial pan-Africanism: strong speeches, weak actions. Senegal deserves better than this hesitant and contradictory stance. This position is a blatant inconsistency. It proves the cosmetic pan-Africanism that I have always denounced. And let's be clear: it's a disgrace. A son of Senegal who competes outside the country is a source of national pride. To deny him is to deny the nation itself," he said.
