Retour de Macky Sall : Ses partisans plaident pour l’unité nationale et le soutien à sa candidature à l’ONU
According to him, Macky Sall is returning to Dakar after several months of intense diplomatic efforts marked by the official filing of his candidacy, consultations with United Nations member states and meetings with senior international officials.
"A new stage is opening, that of Dakar. After seeking support from around the world, President Macky Sall is counting first and foremost on the support of his own nation," he said.
The doorman of the day welcomed President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's decision to receive his predecessor, seeing it as an act of institutional responsibility.
In his view, this candidacy transcends partisan considerations and involves the prestige of Senegal as well as Africa's place in global governance.
He argued that a possible election of Macky Sall as head of the UN would enhance Senegal's international visibility and facilitate partnerships with several UN agencies, particularly in the areas of health, climate, employment and development.
The speaker also stressed the continental dimension of this ambition, recalling Macky Sall's time as president of the African Union and his role in integrating the organization into the G20.
"Let's be clear, this candidacy is not just Senegal's; it is Africa's," he stated.
"When an esteemed citizen is able to assume the highest responsibility in the United Nations, it is the national flag of Senegal that is in competition," he said.
He thus thanked the Senegalese people in the country and in the diaspora who are mobilizing around this ambition, inviting them to make Macky Sall's visit "a great moment of national unity, pride, gathering and communion".
During his speech, Khafore Touré was highly critical of those who oppose the visit. He accused them of fueling "sterile controversies" and trying to divert attention by bringing up the victims of past political events.
According to him, some systematically seek to "torpedo the progress of the country", to "tarnish its image" and to create tensions through "lies and manipulations".
He believes that these debates are aimed at sabotaging what he calls a "historic meeting" between Macky Sall and the Senegalese people.
Responding to criticism regarding the victims of political demonstrations, Kaforé Touré invited the authorities to "follow their logic to the end" if their objective is truly to uncover the truth.
"They should simply repeal the amnesty law. The Senegalese people will then be able to judge the sincerity of their approach," he declared.
In conclusion, Khafore Touré called on Senegalese people to overcome political divisions and prioritize the greater interest of the nation.
"When Senegal rises, every Senegalese person grows. When Senegal is honored, all of Africa moves forward," he said.
The former official thus invited citizens to make this visit a symbol of national unity around a candidacy which he presents as a strategic issue for Senegal and for Africa.
