Streisand Effect: Macky Sall Reveals to the World What He Wanted to Hide in Paris

On September 9, 2026, the Paris judiciary rejected Macky Sall's request to block access to nonamacky.org, a site criticizing his presidency with serious allegations including over 65 deaths, a hidden debt of $7 billion, constitutional violations, and disappearances. His attempt to have the site removed backfired, bringing it to wider public attention and exemplifying the Streisand effect. The court deemed the content of public interest and not a personal attack, without ruling on Sall’s suitability to lead the UN.
