« Mauvais choix pour les armées » : l'offensive d'un ancien DG (PASTEF) contre le ministre Yankhoba Diémé
Defense, security, and foreign policy expert Mouhamadou Lamine Bara Lo has openly criticized the appointment of Yankhoba Diémé as head of the Ministry of the Armed Forces. In a post on X, the former director general of the ONFP (National Office for Vocational Training) and head of the Pastef party in Touba believes that the head of state has made "a poor choice for the armed forces."
The armed forces deserve better!
The President of the Republic appointed Yankhoba Dieme as head of the Ministry of the Armed Forces. In doing so, he made a poor choice for the armed forces.

According to Mouhamadou Lamine Bara Lo, the supervising minister lacks the necessary stature to lead such a prestigious institution. "Mr. Diémé lacks stature. He cannot claim the renown of the great values that define our army," the expert asserts, while also noting that the "trajectory of the Senegalese armed forces" demands impeccable standards.
Beyond the lack of a suitable profile, the author strongly denounces the creeping politicization of the Department of Defense under the current administration. He accuses the minister of having perverted the institution's republican purpose: "Yankhoba has completely transformed the premises of the Ministry of the Armed Forces into a political headquarters," he laments, adding that "his rhetoric has consistently proven disastrous."
The analyst also points to the minister's recent field visits, particularly in Casamance, where military affairs are alleged to have been used for partisan purposes. "During his trip to the southern region, he did not hesitate to politicize the army's plans in that part of the country," he insists.
While acknowledging that the role of Minister of the Armed Forces "can indeed be political," Mouhamadou Lamine Bara Lo emphasizes that it demands a particular stance characterized by restraint and moderation. "It requires, however, stature and discernment," he specifies, before concluding emphatically: "That is what Yankhoba lacks."

À présent les casacais commencent à se réveiller et son entrain de lâcher le pastef
Vive Yankhoba dieme
Vive la république
Il a deserté sa maison inondée de kounoune envahie par les eaux
Tout le monde n'est pas soit Diomaye soit Sonko, l'armée c'est pour tous les sénégalais et un poste aussi stratégique demande discretion, mesure et discernement..
Wassalam
