“Your awakening will be brutal!”: Me Ngagne Demba Touré warns Yankhoba Diémé

Me Ngagne Demba Touré sharply criticized Armed Forces Minister Yankhoba Diémé following remarks Diémé made on Solo Média about the period after the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games. “We’ll see what happens after the JOJ,” the lawyer said, before warning: “Keep threatening. Your awakening will be brutal!” The dispute follows a Kiiraay official’s reference to “a before, a during and an after the JOJ.” Some Pastef activists and officials interpret the phrase as an allusion to Ousmane Sonko, although its intended target was not explicitly identified.
