“Senegal is unrecognizable today”: Idrissa Seck denounces the country’s current situation

At a press conference, Idrissa Seck, leader of Rewmi and a former prime minister, condemned Senegal’s economic decline, social tensions and institutional crisis. Two and a half years after the 2024 presidential election, he said it was time to assess the government’s record and open up new prospects. He warned that insults directed at citizens based on their political views were damaging national cohesion. Seck called for a nationwide mobilization, including young people, women and the diaspora, to “give the people a voice again.”
