Palais : Sonko et Diomaye, les images d'une ambiance très taquine entre les deux hommes devant un groupe d’élèves
On Tuesday, the Presidential Palace opened its doors to deserving students from the René Teulade High School in Sakal and the Abdoulaye Malick Franco-Arab School in Malika. They were warmly welcomed by the two heads of the Executive branch: President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko.
“Welcome home, come whenever you want. Redouble your efforts in your studies and be aware that you are the future of this country. We are counting on you to ensure the future,” the head of state told them.
During the meeting, the young visitors emphasized the symbolic significance of the visit, which they described as a "dream come true." For them, this experience illustrates that every child in Senegal, regardless of their background, has a rightful place at the heart of the nation and can aspire to contribute to its development.
In a relaxed atmosphere, moods were further lightened by the words of the prime minister who took a teasing little jab at the head of state: "The president kept you here until 2 p.m. without giving you anything to eat," he whispered to the students.
Smiling broadly, the host defends himself: "Ask them if they really haven't eaten anything here. Weren't you given anything to eat?" the president asks the students. The Prime Minister will answer for them, not without adding another barb: "That guy over there, I'm sure he's Serer, he says he hasn't eaten anything."
These exchanges helped to further relax the atmosphere and create a friendly ambiance, in a context where relations between the two men are regularly portrayed as strained.
