Between Republican Principles and the Contradictions of Power (Ndiaga SYLLA)

Ndiaga Sylla points to contradictory positions by Ousmane Sonko, who now rejects what he accepted as prime minister, and President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, who now accepts what he previously opposed. Citing political funds, debt management, political party-switching and the holding of multiple offices, he urges Senegalese citizens to judge their leaders’ consistency and respect for their commitments. He questions whether the political power struggle is addressing urgent social concerns, including jobs, the cost of living and access to essential services. Sylla argues that the public interest and citizens’ living conditions must come before political rivalries and ambitions.
